Taste of Alpharetta Returns May 4

ALPHARETTA, GA -- Prepare to treat your taste buds with savory bites from more than 60 restaurants when the 27th annual Taste of Alpharetta returns to town.

This year's event will be held from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday, May 4 in the heart of the city.

Centered on Roswell Street and Milton Avenue, the festival has been a local favorite as well as one of the city’s largest tourism assets, attracting attendees from around the Southeast. The event was chosen as a Top 20 Event in the Southeast by the Southeast Tourism Society for 2017.

Admission is on the house and food tickets are only $.50 each, which attendees can use to buy samples ranging from $1 to $3.

There is much more to this annual festival than pleasing palates, however. Live bands will enhance the summer air as foodies stroll down the street.

“Taste of Alpharetta is one of my favorite events and it has become an annual tradition for festival goers, families and food connoisseurs over the years,” said Janet Rodgers, president and CEO of the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau. "This event is special and you won’t find the energy and enthusiasm at this event anywhere else. We invite and welcome all foodies and festival lovers to join us for a taste of Alpharetta’s unique and chef-driven restaurants at a festival you don’t want to miss.”

Kids can take advantage of the Fun Zones, chefs will face off for culinary competitions and patrons will be able to cast their vote for their favorite dish.
