On Saturday from 12:30 pm to 2:30 am, pubs and restaurants along Stone St. will be offering tastings of signature dishes and other food and drink specials for $5-$10 during the fourth annual StrEATfest block party, raising funds for Self Help Africa, a nonprofit organization whose mission “is to empower rural Africa to achieve economic independence.” The participating establishments include Adrienne’s Pizzabar, Beckett’s, Burger Burger, Biergarten, the Dubliner, Mad Dog and Beans, Pizza Pizza, Smorgas Chef, Stone Street Tavern, Ulyss…es, Vintry, and the Waterstone Grill, and there will be family activities as well as plenty to eat. Last year’s event helped build two much-needed wells in poor rural communities in Togo; this year’s festival benefits communities in Burkina Faso.
