Crave, the Ultimate Foodie Festival Returns to Billings Aug 8

In 2024, a unique new food festival made its debut in Billings. If you missed the Crave event last year at ZooMontana, here's the good news... the festival is returning to the Magic City on Friday, August 8th at Henry's Garage.

What is Crave?

Founded in Spokane by Adam Hegsted, a James Beard semifinalist chef with numerous national and international accolades, the Crave food festival will bring nearly 20 top chefs together for a fantastic evening of amazing food, drinks, music, and fun.

The Billings Crave event will be a culinary adventure, with the theme “Foods From Around the World.” Attendees won't leave hungry, said local organizer Ryan Hendrickson, with a huge variety of scrumptious creations to enjoy, including flame-grilled meats and seafood, homemade ice creams, baked goods, vegetarian delights, ethnic specialties, and locally inspired creations.
