Since launching Dessert Goals in 2016, founder Miraya Berke – a dessert lover since childhood – has mounted successful festivals in both New York City and Los Angeles; she also debuted a popular sister festival, Rom Com Fest, in 2019. Miraya is thrilled to host her best event to date in the city that started it all, NYC.
Berke said, “I’ve been so blown away by the passion of the incredible Dessert Goals community of vendors, partners and attendees over the past few years – I can’t wait to celebrate what we’ve built together at our 10th festival. Over 3,000 guests will taste their way through a collection of our most indulgent dessert hits, dress up in their favorite bright patterns, strike a pose, snap photos and have the *best day ever* with their fellow dessert-loving pals.”
