Known for its craft breweries, it’s only appropriate that this neighborhood of San Diego would have a party to celebrate it.
The Taste Of North Park features San Diego craft beers, food samples and live music this October. The 13th annual event is Saturday Oct. 5. It goes from 11 a.m.-3 p.m., and features more than 40 restaurants, breweries, cafes and retail stores with tastings of food and craft beers along with live music and art.
“North Park is a dynamic and ever-evolving neighborhood, and Taste of North Park is a testament to the strong sense of community and creativity that defines our area,” said Mark West, Executive Director of North Park Main Street. “By attending this event, guests are not only indulging in the best our neighborhood has to offer, but also directly contributing to the ongoing efforts to ensure North Park continues to flourish.”
Tickets are on sale now. There is early-bird pricing through September 30 for 50 (plus fee) for food tastings only and $65 (plus fee) for both food and beverage tastings. The cost increases to $55 and $70, respectively, beginning October 1. All previous Taste of North Park events have sold out, and it is likely there will be no day-of sales due to another anticipated sellout this year.
Tickets may be purchased here.
