Taste of the North Shore Returns For 20th Year In 2024

PEABODY, MA — The Rotary Club of Peabody's Taste of the North Shore fundraiser and restaurant showcase will return for a 20th year this spring with its $10,000 raffle to raise funds for Peabody scholarships and school programming.

The Taste of the North Shore will be on March 19 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Danversport on Elliott Street in Danvers.

Each year, hundreds of attendees enjoy a variety of foods, spirits, raffles and entertainment in the Rotary Club of Peabody's biggest fundraiser of the year.

"We look forward to hosting an event worthy of our 20th anniversary," Club Co-President Cathy Gravel said. "Rotary's signature fundraiser is the primary reason we are able to focus on our mission to help deserving students and so many others in our community."

Raffle tickets, which include one admission, are $100 and are limited to 300 entrants. Raffle ticket purchasers will have the opportunity to buy a guest ticket for $25. Non-raffle admission is $50 per person.

Tickets can be purchased here.

The evening will also include an auction, $20 mystery bags with prizes valued at least $25 in each bag, and a stock-your-cellar win and beer raffle.

Money raised at the Taste of the North Shore goes toward tens of thousands of dollars in high school scholarships, meals for those with food insecurity, Peabody playground revitalization and maintenance, as well as education and literary projects.
