“It’s something that can help the town centre,” said businessman Lee Murray, of organiser Levenmouth Together. “It will help the town centre regeneration and drive traffic to the High Street.”
Lee said if the event goes well, future food and drink festivals could spread up the High Street. But he was keen to stress that the idea of the event was to get more people visiting the town centre, supporting High Street businesses.
The launch of Leven’s food and drink festival follows the success of similar events in Crail and Kirkcaldy.
“A lot of towns are doing food and drink festivals,” added Lee. “Why should we not have one?”
