CASTRO VALLEY, CA — The Taste of Castro Valley returns next month, featuring a diverse lineup of more than 30 restaurants, caterers and local businesses.

Urban Matcha, Pour House, Beard Papa’s, Slice House, and Canyons Barbecue are amongst the featured businesses, according to the Rotary Club.

There will also be more "unique bites" to discover, including firehouse chili from the Alameda County Fire Department.

Local bands, chalk arts and "special offerings" from featured sponsors will also be available.
