After taking a year off, SWINE Festival is back and better than ever. Two of Iowa's best tastes come together in a casual, yet refined event designed to benefit the Iowa Culinary Institute at Des Moines Area Community College.
The Ninth Annual Swine Festival will feature central Iowa's finest chefs and Iowa wineries. Chefs will prepare samples of gourmet pork offerings while wineries will pour samples and offer wine for sale.
Swine Festival is held in the park-like setting outside the Iowa Culinary Institute next to the lake on DMACC's Ankeny campus. Live music will be provided and will set the mood for a relaxed afternoon of sampling.
