Advance Tickets are now on sale for $75 per person/$100 after October 1. Children under 12 are free with adult paid ticket.
Enjoy a VIP experience at Thorntree Slate & Marble VIP Lounge where you can meet James Beard Award-winning Chef Chris Shepherd who will be signing his newly launched book "Cook Like a Local". Mingle with participating sponsors, chefs and judges, sip fine wines and enjoy a fine selection of signature bites, coffees & desserts. VIP tickets are $175 per person/$225 after October 1. Valet parking included.
This year The International Risotto Festival will benefit BEAR… Be A Resource for CPS Kids. BEAR is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization that provides hope and help for abused and neglected children and the caseworkers who protect them within Harris County. Each year approximately 16,000 children are involved with Child Protective Services (CPS) in Harris County. Unfortunately, more than 1,000 of these children are removed from their homes under emergency conditions. When these kids are placed in temporary care, the small stipend the County is able to provide may not cover all of the child’s expenses. Some expenses such as hygiene items, clothing, school supplies, “extras” like holiday gifts and funds to set up a kid graduating from high school are a real stretch for some families.
