Volunteers Needed to Help with 25th Taste of Bethesda

The Bethesda Urban Partnership is recruiting volunteers for the 25th annual Taste of Bethesda to be held Saturday, Oct. 11.

The food and music festival brings 60 restaurants and five stages of entertainment to Bethesda’s Woodmont Triangle. Each year, more than 40,000 attendees sample the restaurants, enjoy the live entertainment and visit the kid’s corner for face painting and arts and crafts.

Taste of Bethesda is held in conjunction with Best of Bethesda Day, which also features the Come Back to Bethesda classic car show and Rescue Day. The event is held rain or shine.

Admission
Admission to the Taste of Bethesda is free. Taste tickets are sold on-site in bundles of four tickets for $5. Food servings cost one to four tickets. Restaurants serve dishes from 11am-4pm. Ticket sales end at 3:30 p.m.

Location
The event is held along Norfolk, St. Elmo, Cordell, Del Ray and Auburn Avenues in Bethesda’s WoodmontTriangle. Taste of Bethesda is located just three blocks from the Bethesda Metro.

Volunteers Needed

Organizers need 100 volunteers to help set up and tear down. Never volunteered before? Don’t worry – every team has a “Captain” who will show you the ropes. All volunteers must be at least 16 years old.

Volunteers under the age of 18 must have a parent fill out and sign a Youth Volunteer Permission Form (please contact the volunteer coordinator).

You can find the volunteer signup form online to fill out, then mail a printout or email it to organizers.
