“I’m excited to bring Chowderfest back with the new format we incorporated last year,” said Olivia Clemente, executive director of the sponsoring Downtown Troy Business Improvement District (BID).
“The concept of this format" -- selling from storefronts rather than from a central location such as Riverside Park as was the format prior to 2022 -- "was not only to bring more foot traffic to our restaurants, but to get everyone walking around downtown and explore streets they may never walk down on a normal day. It’s really all about getting to know our area and the businesses.”
