Experience A Taste Of Rockville Centre Tonight

Get your taste buds ready, because the annual Taste of Rockville Centre returns this week, and features dishes from all of your favorite restaurants from around the village.

The 14th annual Taste of Rockville Centre will be held on Friday, Jan. 26 from 7 to 10 p.m. in the St. Agnes Parish Center, located on North Village Avenue. Tickets are $40 and are sold at the door, and are restricted to those 21 and older. Guests will be able to taste dishes from local establishments like Kasey's Kitchen and Cocktails, Cabo, Swingbellys, RJ Daniels, Cabo and many more. There will also be wine tastings. The evening will also feature live music by Jerry & The Newcomers.

The Taste of Rockville Centre is one of the biggest fundraisers of the year for the Rockville Centre St. Patrick's Parade. Each year, the parade raises money to donate to three charities: a local charity, a national charity and an Irish charity. This year's charities are the Life’s WORC Family Center for Autism in Garden City, the Family Lives On Foundation (which supports children after the death of a parent) and the Irish American Heritage Museum in Albany.

Since its inception 21 years ago, the St. Patrick's Parade, which calls itself The Parade That Cares and Shares, has donated more than $1 million to dozens of charities.

This year's parade is scheduled for March 24, and will be led by Grand Marshal John F. Coghlan.
