2016 Worlds of Fun Food & Wine Festival

Do you want to see the Cedar Fair Executive Chefs shine? Then you need to partake in special events like the 2016 Worlds of Fun Food & Wine Festival. Taking place June 3-5 and 10-12, Worlds of Fun will offer exceptional food offerings paired with local wines to really bring out the flavors. All this, and it takes place in an amusement park under the shadows of the Patriot, Mamba, and Steelhawk.

Last years Worlds of Fun Food & Wine Fest put out some pretty fantastic food offerings like Grilled BBQ prawns accompanied with a savory corn relish, Asian chicken dumplings filled with mushrooms, vegetables and a soy hijiki sauce, & New Zealand Lamb Chop bites grilled with roasted garlic and fresh herbs…did we mention this is at an amusement park?
