Feastival (feast + festival)
A “feastival” (feast = festival) is an event with food (“feast”) and usually some entertainment. The word “feastival” has been cited in print since at least 1939, with increased use from the 1970s.
Two of the more popular annual “feastivals” in the United States are the “Feastival” (Philadelphia, PA) and the “Gourmet Feastival” (Tampa, FL).

ABOUT
Philadelphia’s cultural economy is world-class and nothing represents our dynamic and innovative arts scene better than the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe. In its sixteenth year, the annnual 16-day Festival brings the best in contemporary, innovative and ground-breaking art to Philadelphia and fills the city with daring artistic performances, international legends, and local pioneers.
For the past three years, this premier arts festival joined forces with Philadelphia’s world-class restaurants to present FEASTIVAL, a benefit for the Philadelphia Live Arts and Philly Fringe. Described as a “completely delicious and amazing” evening and named “one of the best events in the last decade,” FEASTIVAL celebrates both our artistic and culinary scenes – two great economic engines that push Philadelphia forward.
