The first of its kind, the Big Queer Food Fest is the largest celebration of the LGBTQIA+ culinary community in Boston. The week-long festival celebrates LGBTQIA+ chefs, winemakers, distillers, brewers, authors, and purveyors from Boston and beyond by featuring culinary and community happenings throughout the city. Events include chef dinners, queer parties, happy hours, and discussions with chefs and authors, such as the Queer Beer Meet up at Dorchester Brewing Co., "Girl peas! Why Queer Food Matters," the Big Queer Tea Party, and "Serving the Look: Queer Identity and Food Photography and Storytelling." The full week's schedule can be found here, kicking off with the Opening Night Sizzle at Sweet Cheeks Q on April 28 and culminating in a weekend of Grand Tasting days on May 3 and 4 from 1pm to 4pm at High Street Market (don't miss Sunday for a special drag queen edition).
