Taste Of SouthCoast has a well deserved reputation as the best deal in town for the quality and quantity of food our patrons have to sample. Attendees will taste a variety of offerings from local, area restaurants--there will certainly be something for everyone to enjoy! New England crafted beers and locally grown and bottled wines from Travessia, soft drinks and homemade ice cream from Cafe Arpeggio are also available to complement the food offerings. The Taste Of SouthCoast event will be held rain or shine under the tents. Live music also adds to the fun atmosphere. This year's musical entertainment includes local favorites The Relics and the J. Kelley Band. Listen at http://jkelleymusic.com/.
A major feature of Taste OF SouthCoast is a spirit of friendly competition among local, area restaurants that will culminate in awards. Participants cast their votes for their favorite restaurant in the following categories: The “People's Choice” Award will go to the most voted for food offering and “Best Booth Presentation” award will go to the participant that receives the most votes for best decorated and creative booth.
