FAQs

Will there be seating at The Taste?
While there won’t be enough seating for everyone, there will be a few tables and chairs available for those who need a place to sit. Picnic blankets are welcome!

What happens if it rains?
The Taste is a rain-or-shine event with all restaurants under tents. MEF 25th anniversary umbrellas will be available for sale (but we are hoping we won’t need them!)

Is The Taste a family-friendly event?
Yes! There will be something for every age at The Taste. Delicious food, lawn games, music, face painting, raffles.
