The Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival, presented by Invesco QQQ, is New York City's premier wine and food festival, celebrating 18 years in 2026 with five days of world-class culinary programming across 50+ events led by renowned chefs, restaurants, mixologists, and wine and spirits producers. In 2025 it debuted a reimagined campus in the historic Seaport neighborhood of Lower Manhattan. The crowd is affluent, 65/35 female-male, millennial-leaning foodies pulled from New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, and beyond, with an average household income of $225,000 and total season attendance of 35,000. 2025 talent included Bobby Flay, Rachael Ray, José Andrés, Martha Stewart, and Ja Rule. Sponsors get an elevated waterfront setting and a roster of culinary A-listers to align with, putting a brand inside NYC's most trusted food and wine institution rather than adjacent to it.
