Arlington, TX

Some of Arlington’s finest restaurants will gather together on Tuesday, October 2 from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. for the annual Taste of Arlington celebration. This year marks their silver anniversary.

The event, which brings together nearly 75 restaurants at the Arlington Convention Center, raises money for the Arlington YMCA and Theatre Arlington. In addition to all the great food, organizers have planned a silent auction, a Big Board auction, music, sponsor displays, and a performance by Theatre Arlington’s youth touring group. Auction items include theater and other fine arts tickets, dinners, autographed collectibles, jewelry, art, event tickets, entertainment tickets, autographed books, gift baskets, spa treatments, and overnight stays.

Participating restaurants include Birraporetti’s, Cacharel, Hoffbrau, Mimi’s Cafe, Piccolo Mondo, Simply Fondue and many more. Several grocery stores, including Albertson’s, Kroger, Tom Thumb and Whole Foods, will also be on hand as will beverage companies like Coca-Cola, Coors Distributing and Miller Distributing.

Pre-sale tickets to the event are available for $36. You can get those online at the Taste of Arlington website, at 8 area Kroger stores, or at Theatre Arlington, 316 W.
