Come one, come all to the Culinary Collective, a week long extravaganza of edible delights! Renowned chefs and foodies from around Elanthia will be returning to gather in the Eastern Harbor, bringing wares and cuisine for purchase and consumption. Delicacies from many races will be included, as well as from many flavor palates. There will be something for everyone to munch on, so bring your silvers and your empty stomachs to enjoy the festival on Four Winds Island.

During the course of the festival, several raffles and services will be offered by chefs and culinary enthusiasts alike. Their offerings range from tart kilns to general alterations, and much in between.

You just came for the food? You'll see a selection of ales and beers, various wines and cheeses, candy and baked goods, coffee, racially themed foods, mystery meats, and so much more!

Wait, wait, what about the shops? Not only do they offer delicious food, but you'll find useful items as well. Island couture, player-designed steins, meat-themed clothing, and coffee supplies are just a small sampling of the shops returning this year. There will also be several new shops with wares to delight the senses!

The tents and wagons will be arriving in the Eastern Harbor beginning at 9pm on Friday, August 9th and will remain open until ~midnight, Friday, August 16th. Come, eat, be merry, and enjoy!

>>Are any of these going to be designed by players?

The two shops from last year with player-designed items will be returning. I can't tease more yet! :)

So soon after Frontier Days. I'm impressed! Thanks for all of your hard work.

Will the salt/pepper shakers and basting brushes be for sale again this year? Definitely the most entertaining way to unpoison/undisease someone. I stocked up last year but I've used quite a few already.

Yes, yes it has. I wouldn't expect this year's Culinary Collective to be as occupied as it was last year, merchant-wise. It will however have most of the same shops as last year, plus some new ones.

Inurtia will be there for the coffee and cupcakes :)
