Chowder!
The 7th annual ChowderFest is scheduled for Sunday, October 13, at Riverside Park, behind River Street in downtown Troy.
More than 30 local restaurants will be competing for top honors from a judging panel of food writers in such categories as best overall, best seafood, best vegetarian and most creative, as well as for the People's Choice award from eventgoers.
Live music, family events and vendor booths will be available. The event is organized and run by the Downtown Business Improvement District (BID).
Chowder fans will be able to purchase as many chowder tasting tickets as they like for $1 each. Everyone who purchases a ticket will receive a People's Choice ballot.
The schedule and the lineup of chowder makers will be announced closer to the event. Meanwhile, here's a review of last year's winners:
