Savoring its 24th year of local fare, the Taste of Kalamazoo is sure to offer a celebration to satisfy every palate. From July 23-25, the Taste will feature cuisine from more than 30 restaurants, as well as live entertainment and family fun.
Each year the Taste of Kalamazoo attracts 25,000 to 30,000 hungry people who crave world class cuisine prepared by local restaurants and caterers. Tickets for food and beverages—from fresh fruit juices and smoothies to top-shelf liquors and local brews and wines—are $.50, with most items ranging in price from $.50 to $4.
Family activities at the Taste, including face painting, pony rides and appearances by a juggler and comedian start at 11 a.m. each day. A “grill off” is planned every day from 3 – 6 p.m. and special family programming, such as the Hospice of Greater Kalamazoo’s Great Duck Race, is planned from noon – 3 p.m. on Saturday.
