Flavors of the West- Back to the Park

By

MARCH 24, 2018 | 12-4PM
http://www.flavorsAZ.com

Year after year, Flavors of the West delivers more of what you want. More food. More music. More friends.. More “Flavors”.

This year, Flavors will again be hosted in Litchfield Park, alongside the historic community on Old Litchfield Rd.

On March 24, 2017, the community will experience a good day of fun, food samplings from over 30 West Valley hot spots, music and entertainment. Guests will experience a festival unlike any other – and some of the best “Flavors” of the West Valley.

But the event does so much more than raise awareness for the local West Valley food scene. Each year, Flavors of the West selects a local charity partner to receive our event proceeds. In 2017, the spotlight is on The Honey Foundation, a local charity focused on Kindness.

The Honey Foundation now provides a Kindness Education Program for K-12 Schools. Their programs help students understand the broad importance of Kindness in our World, and how Kindness leads to success in life. So far, THF’s Kindness Education Program has already reduced extreme disciplinary action by over 50% in 2 years.
