The Fayetteville Marksmen are excited to announce the return of their popular Fayetteville Eats Food Festival. The community-loved event is set to take place on March 22, ahead of their highly anticipated matchup against the Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs.
Now in its fourth successful year, the Fayetteville Eats Food Festival continues its beloved tradition of uniting the community through two exciting attractions—delectable cuisine and thrilling hockey action. This unique event showcases unlimited tastings from Fayetteville's finest local food establishments and beverage vendors, creating a culinary adventure for attendees.
After sampling the diverse array of local flavors and specialties, festival-goers can transition seamlessly into an action-packed Marksmen hockey game. The festival organizers actively encourage participants to explore every food and drink offering available, ensuring they experience the full spectrum of local gastronomy before heading to the arena to support their hometown hockey heroes.
One ticket to the event grants you access to both the festival and the hockey game afterwards. You can choose from two exciting packages:
• General admission: Enjoy unlimited samples of food and beverages throughout the festival, plus an end zone ticket to watch the hockey game from a great vantage point;
• VIP: Get exclusive early access 30 minutes before general admission, receive 2 complimentary drink tickets, watch the game from premium center ice seating, and take home a special VIP gift.
The festival atmosphere will be electric with live musical performances, interactive games and activities, and many more entertainment options throughout the day! Tickets can be purchased online at https://marksmenhockey.com/community/fayetteville-eats/.
The Marksmen are expecting approximately 30-40 diverse vendors who will be participating in the upcoming event. Notable participants include the Italian-American favorite Carrabba's, breakfast specialist Eggs Up Grill, fast-casual dining spot Jaggers, authentic Southern cuisine from Tisdale's Southern BBQ, and artisanal coffee roaster Rise & Grind Coffees. These vendors represent just a sample of the wide variety of culinary options that will be available to attendees during the event.
And don't forget about the hockey game after. The highly anticipated Carolina Reapers, the most talked-about rebrand in hockey, will make their special one-night appearance as the Marksmen transform for the exclusive Reapers Night event. In this thrilling matchup, they'll face off against their rivals, the Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs. Fayetteville Eats will run from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and the game will start at 6 p.m.
