Entertainment geared toward families will include pasta classes from Eataly.

Early Bird Tickets, which can be purchased here, start at $60 per person, with each ticket redeemable for six tastes from participating vendors. After Oct. 15, tickets can be purchased at the door price of $70. A VIP option, with ticket packages ranging in price from $125 to $750, covers drinks, dedicated bar access, and exclusive raffles, is also available.
