Billings foodies are in for a treat in a couple of weeks as the Magic City welcomes its first ever food festival. Plans have been in the works for the past two years to bring Spokane-based Crave Food Festival to Billings.
In a story MTN reported back in 2022 , Spokane-based chef Adam Hegsted visited Montana at the behest of US Foods representative Ryan Hendrickson to check out Billings’ food scene.
“You guys have some amazing chefs and some amazing people doing some good work. And I was like, how can we showcase this?” said Hegsted Saturday.

“It’s five to nine with early admission at five and general admission starts at six, right? And that’s $65 for the general admission, $75 for early admission,” Hendrickson said.
