SEATTLE, April 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bite of Seattle, one of Seattle's most iconic food festivals, returns this summer to Seattle Center after a three-year hiatus. Over 500,000 guests will enjoy an elevated experience and taste bites from 200 of the region's finest restaurant and specialty food purveyors.
Taking place from July 21-23, The Bite of Seattle will return to the heart of the city at Seattle Center. "Our vision for a vibrant and thriving One Seattle includes bringing communities together through shared experiences to celebrate what makes our region special," said Mayor Bruce Harrell. "The Bite of Seattle has been a beloved tradition for nearly forty years that uplifts our city's world-class culinary scene and local small businesses, and we're thrilled to be able to bring it back to the Seattle Center campus this summer."
An exciting new feature at The Bite of Seattle is the implementation of CHEQ's technology.

This is a win-win for everyone involved as festival-goers get to discover new restaurants and local businesses benefit from increased exposure and sales.
