First Fridays: Fall Food Fest

On Friday, November 3, 2023, Downtown Bristol businesses will boast their best autumnal flavors with a Fall Food Fest!  This collaboration of downtown restaurants and bars offers patrons the chance to get a taste of all things pumpkin, apple, cranberry, and all of the other signature seasonings and savory bites everyone looks forward to this time of year.
