Festivals Inc. has been a regional leader in the event industry for over 34 years. The company has created, consulted and produced events around the country since its inception in 1982, experiencing incredible growth since that time. It all began when our CFO, Alan Silverman, created and produced the Bite of Seattle® (still the company's flagship event). An estimated 75,000 people attended the first Bite and sampled culinary creations from 25 restaurants. The Bite now attracts over 400,000 people in three days and hosts over 60 restaurants, plus entertainment stages, cooking demonstrations and many other venues.
