Celebrating half a century of culinary excellence and community support, the 50th annual AbilityFirst Food & Wine Festival invites guests to an enchanting evening at the Urquhart residence in South Pasadena on Sunday, June 9, from 5-8 p.m.
This landmark, outdoor event promises gourmet delights from local restaurants, cocktail bars, breweries and vintners, offering a tantalizing array of flavors.
In honoring Greg and Heba Wood, the festival underscores its commitment to recognizing outstanding contributions to its mission.
