The event producer behind some of the West’s very best culinary events has announced the dates for its 2026 calendar. Last year, Team Player Productions (TPP) announced two brand new events – Park City Spring Wine Festival and FoCo Fall Fest – both of which will return in 2026, while Vail Craft Beer Classic will be celebrating its 10th anniversary. TPP is also launching RiNo Street Fair, slated for May 9.
“It’s such an honor that year after year, people spend their spring, fall and summer weekends with us. When you combine these stunning locations with culinary excellence, you’re going to have a good time and want to return.” says Kristen Slater, co-owner of TPP.
She adds, “I think our events have had such longevity because each event is executed at such a high-level attention to detail, while also remaining extremely accessible to people. Other festivals cost thousands of dollars and you can attend elements to each of our festivals for under $150.”
