fillings will flow forth to the delight of an anticipated 28,000 pie lovers
from around the world.
Presented by the
American Pie Council®, an organization dedicated to preserving America's pie
heritage, the popular festival returns to Celebration with all the activities
that have made it a favorite event for families and remains free open to the
public.
Whether bonafide
pie lovers or casual nibblers looking for an afternoon of fun, Orlando residents and visitors are invited to
stroll through the free-admission festival and enjoy two days of family fun,
reminiscent of days gone by. The Crisco® Kids Creation Station will give
aspiring young bakers an opportunity to create their own pies or enjoy some fun
with pie decorating, pie-scaping, Piecasso tin art and many more activities.
The Pietopia Demonstration Stage sponsored by Village Inn and Bakers Square
Restaurants will feature entertainment and baking demonstrations with chefs
from across the country. Of course, the Great American Pie Festival would not
be complete without a Pie Eating Contest, sponsored by Private Selection. Attendees
may opt to dig in and compete or simply sit back and enjoy the show. All
festival events will be held both days.
