Admission is free for all visitors, and if desired, can purchase $5 tickets to enter the Tasting Village and sample delicious dishes from popular local, regional, and national food brands. Additionally, attendees can splurge on $50 daily passes or $150 weekend passes to gain access to the WFC’s VIP lounge and try first-hand the winning dishes from competitors’ tables while hanging out in the best viewing spot - in the middle of all the action.  Don’t miss out on other exciting events taking place throughout the weekend such as the Low Country Boil, Bourb’N’Que, Around the World in 100 Bites, Yacht Club Dinner Party, and Jazz Brunch.  The Wharf’s Marlin Circle will be buzzing with thousands of foodies taking part in fun activities and enjoying live musical performances from local favorites, Shelby Brown, Brigham Cason, Tommy Morse Band, and Fat Man Squeeze.  The event will be handing out amazing giveaways from many sponsors such as Kitchen Aid, Grilla Grills, Turquoise Place, Beau Rivage, Sam’s Club, The Oyster Bed, and more.
