OctFest, the one-of-a-kind beer, music, and food festival presented by Pitchfork and October, today announces its food lineup, curated by Bon Appétit, the award-winning food lifestyle brand. Mission Chinese Food, Roberta's Pizza, OddFellows Ice Cream Co., KronnerBurger, and more join 20 musical acts including Vince Staples and The Flaming Lips, along with 90+ craft breweries from around the world at the reimagined OctFest 2018, taking place September 8-9 on Governors Island in New York City.
The all-new food program features a "Food Village" offering several New York City quick-serve staples like Roberta's, Sweet Chick, and STUF'D Truck. Additional restaurant participants include Cervo's and Best Pizza from Brooklyn, and KronnerBurger from Oakland, preparing specialties from around the world to complement the domestic and international craft beer being sampled."Mission Chinese Food has always had a close relationship with music, so working with Pitchfork on OctFest naturally made sense," said award-winning chef and co-founder of Mission Chinese Food, Danny Bowien. "We've had a few bands perform at the restaurant including my band NARX!, so it will be a change of pace to bring our food to an event with such a robust lineup."
OctFest is also teaming up with Billion Oyster Project (BOP) to help raise money to install and maintain community oyster reefs in New York Harbor. Blue Point Brewing Company, one of the breweries at OctFest is an official partner of Billion Oyster Project and will be launching Good Reef Ale in September. For every pint of Good Reef Ale sold, five oysters will be restored to Billion Oyster Project's Community Oyster Reefs in New York City.
Those five oysters can filter up to 250 gallons of water per day strengthening water restoration. As previously announced, musical acts include Vince Staples, BADBADNOTGOOD, NAO, Saba, Preoccupations, Vagabon, Standing on the Corner, Hatchie, Flasher, and Madison McFerrin on Saturday, and The Flaming Lips, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Yo La Tengo, Girlpool, Hop Along, No Age, Kamaiyah, Shopping, Julie Byrne, and The Courtneys on Sunday. Additionally, OctFest 2018 is hosting 90 breweries from 20 countries, pouring more than 250 varieties of award-winning craft beer.
