Fall Food + Wine Festival

Continuing a lifesaving tradition.

In 2022, we welcomed back our signature fundraising event: the Fall Food + Wine Festival. We were grateful for the opportunity to come together again after a hiatus due to COVID-19 to support Huntington Hospital Trauma Center — and we did not skip a beat, bite or sip.

Since it first began in 1984, the festival has raised more than $5 million in support of trauma services at the hospital. The 2022 event marked another success in that long history.

The 36th annual Fall Food + Wine Festival, held once again on the grounds between Parkway Grill and Arroyo Chop House in Pasadena, featured an evening of delectable tastes and sips. Guests had the opportunity to explore food and drink offerings from more than 80 local restaurants, wineries and breweries. In addition to enjoying the numerous treats available, guests chatted with old friends and made new ones. The dance floor was a popular location, thanks to outstanding musical entertainment provided by the band Soulville.

With proceeds from the 2022 event, we were able to invest in a CereLink System intracranial pressure monitor (ICP), an advanced tool that monitors pressure inside the skull. This highly accurate equipment is helping our trauma center team provide the best possible treatment to patients with traumatic brain injuries.

A portion of the funds raised also supported advanced education for our trauma center medical residents and nurses. This investment helps ensure our staff have the very latest knowledge and care skills, so we can stay at the forefront in trauma care.

A big thank you goes out to all those who contributed to the success of this annual fundraising event — including ticket buyers, patrons, sponsors, vendors and other friends of the hospital. Your partnership is helping save the lives of seriously injured patients in our region. We are truly grateful.

We hope you will join us for the 2023 Fall Food + Wine Festival. Your involvement will help ensure that Huntington Hospital Trauma Center continues to provide high-quality care when local patients need it most. Visit the event website at fallfoodandwine.com to learn more.
