Learn from Wegmans how to get amazing flavors from veggies on the grill at this weekend’s Grilling Harvest Event. It’ll be like a party wrapped up in a shopping trip!
As the season heats up and summer approaches, store employees at Wegmans Food Markets have all been learning from Wegmans chefs on how to get amazing flavors from veggies on the grill. They can’t wait to talk with customers about these ‘best practices’ at the Grilling Harvest Event, held at all Wegmans stores (with the exception of the newest location in King of Prussia).
Grilling Harvest Event Dates and Times at Collegeville, Downingtown & Malvern:
- Friday, June 8th 4 p.m. – 8 p.m.
- Saturday, June 9th 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
- Sunday, June 10th 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
It’ll be like a party wrapped up in a shopping trip! As customers arrive, they’ll see a big display of vegetables ideal for grilling including peppers, onions, eggplant, and portobella mushrooms. Balloons, activity sheets for kids and friendly employees wearing badges that say “My Favorite Veggie Is . . .” make the day more fun.
Here’s a sampling of what customers can taste:
- Spicy Grilled Baby Peppers in the produce department. (Veggie Kabobs for easy grilling will also be for sale at select stores).
- Grilled Eggplant, Sweet Pepper and Chipotle Corn Soup in prepared foods
- Grilled Eggplant Naan Pizza at the pizza counter

- Grilled Veggies with Spicy Antipasti Drizzling Oil at the fresh foods bar

Later in the season, Wegmans stores will celebrate vegetables picked at the peak of perfection with two other upcoming events: the Corn Harvest July 20th-22nd and the Tomato Harvest August 10th-12th.
