Chosen Foods Turns San Diego's Broadway Pier into Millennial Playground "Ripe" with Music, Food, Art for Avolution Fest 2019

SAN DIEGO, May 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 2,000 attendees will gather at America's Finest City's iconic Broadway Pier for Chosen Foods' second annual Avolution Fest on June 8. The San Diego-based, avocado-obsessed brand that delivers sustainably-sourced, clean nourishment has announced its massive celebration of avocados to include a lineup of bands, food trucks, art and more for the one-day immersive experience. The avo-inspired festival, which made a splash in 2018 with a sold-out event that was dubbed "peak millennial" by Bustle, will return this summer with live music, interactive art installations, delicious food, and inventive drinks. The festival will kick-off at 4pm at Downtown San Diego's Broadway Pier, located 1000 N Harbor Dr, San Diego, CA 92101.

Following the solo EDM musician and co-headlining the festival will be the five-member band St. Lucia, who has been hailed as a "synth-pop wizard" (Entertainment Weekly). The indie pop band is led by frontman Jean-Philip Grobler and the group has three albums to date. Closing out the concert's for a dance party on the water is the DJ duo Lost Kings, who have reached more than 1.1 million streams and claimed a top 40 spot on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart this year.

Attendees will not only be able to experience scenic harbor and city views, but are also invited to interact with an array of immersive avocado art installations and galleries created by artist Peaseful. These Instagram-able moments filling the 15,000 sq. ft pavilion are all we avo-wanted and more.

More than just a music festival, Chosen Foods' Avolution Fest celebrates its signature ingredient, the avocado, with a variety of inventive menu items. Food trucks include The Flavor Mobile, Eat Your Heart Out, Quick Stop Grill, and Tacos La Mezcla — each of which will offer an avolution themed menu item. Attendees will also be invited to purchase avocado-centric cocktails including a Spicy Avocado Margarita and a Green Goddess Lemonade by Best Beverage Catering— Avo drink to that! In celebration of the day, Chosen Foods has also collaborated with Towne Park Brewery for a limited edition Mexican Lager, available exclusively at Avolution Fest. 

"After much success from last year's Avolution Fest we knew we had to bring back this festival to the San Diego community," said Chosen Foods CEO Gabriel Gabriel Perez Krieb. "San Diego is known for its art, food, live entertainment and we wanted to have an event bigger and better than the year before. We're thrilled to for the return of this festival that celebrates our hero ingredient of the avocado and to join people together for a day of music, art, food, and drink."
