WHAT IS TASTE OF DOWNTOWN?
Food. Music. Community. Purpose.
The Taste of Downtown is Carson City's signature summer event, a movable feast through the streets of downtown where each ticket gets you one taste from every participating restaurant. Add in multiple stages of live music and thousands of fellow food lovers, and you've got an evening that's impossible to forget.
But it's more than a great party. Every ticket sold benefits Advocates to End Domestic Violence, a Carson City nonprofit that has been protecting and supporting survivors and their children since 1979. When you come to the Taste, you're feeding something more important than your appetite.
