Pawtucket Central Falls Empanada Fest 2022

This year we are hosting the 2nd annual Pawtucket-Central Falls Empanada-Fest! PCF Empanada-Fest is a friendly competition between local empanada/patty makers where the attendees vote on who makes the best ones!

At event check-in, attendees will be asked to produce a paper of digital copy of their ticket/ticket set. Attendees will get a scoring card and a pencil and then proceed to each of our participating vendors to receive a sample of their signature empanadas/patties. Each sample will be 2-3 bites each. The staff at each booth will take your card to hole punch it and signify you have received your sample. Attendees can use the pencil to write down any notes they want to make about a sample.

Once you have visited each vendor on the scoring card you may proceed to the voting booth. At this booth you will be asked to produce your scoring card and will receive 2 tokens. You will select the two restaurants you believe had the best empanadas/patties out of all the vendors and then place one token in both of those ballot boxes. The two tokens cannot be placed in the same restaurant ballot box. At the conclusion of the event the winners will be announced and presented with an award.

There will be other vendors at this event selling refreshments and desserts, as well as, Live music.
