Guests will also enjoy chef demonstrations and unforgettable entertainment, including a live performance from TikTok sensation, NGBX Piano.

"The Food & (Not Just) Wine Festival is a celebration of Kalahari's commitment to culinary excellence," Kalahari Executive Chef Stacy Calles said. "The concept for this festival started at our Round Rock, Texas, resort — and due to its success hosting thousands of guests, we knew we had to expand to our Poconos resort. This event is not to be missed."
