Lost Lake Festival won’t only be known for inviting big names like The Killers, Chance the Rapper and Major Lazer to Phoenix, but also for feeding the appetites of Arizona foodies.  

The festival will feature four major food and drink zones – Phoenix Flavors, Brewpark, The Lava Pit and Nectar of the Gods.
