Taste of Alpharetta Is A Rain or Shine Event - Come Join Us!

Taste of Alpharetta has become an annual tradition for festival goers, families and food connoisseurs. Mark your calendars to dine in Downtown Alpharetta at over 60 restaurants in one fun night. Sample delicious appetizers, entrees and desserts from the top chefs in town. Enjoy culinary demonstrations, activities for all ages and entertainment to please every palate. Admission is free, you may purchase food tickets on site at our ticket booths for $.50 each. Restaurants participating in the Taste of Alpharetta will not accept cash (tickets only). Restaurants charge $1-4 per food sample. Tickets are only redeemable for food - not drinks and are non-refundable.

Taste of Alpharetta is dedicated to the many facets of the local food system, including local restaurants, growers and producers, educators, distributors, innovators, and food rescuers.

Each City of Alpharetta special event has a main focus, and the non-profit partners who have on-site presence at the event will have a mission that aligns with the main focus of the City of Alpharetta special event. For example, if the event’s main focus is music, all partners’ mission and focus will be related to music. If an organization does not fit the main focus of the event, but wants to have onsite presence at the event, their option would be to become a sponsor of the event.

Bike Valet Service provided by our partner BikeAlpharetta!
We encourage festival attendees to leave the car at home this year and BIKE! Our generous partner, BikeAlpharetta, will be providing a COMPLIMENTARY Bike Valet during the hours of the event. Not only is this a wise environmental decision to make but it will also cut down on event traffic and give everyone an opportunity to burn off all the yummy tastes from the evening! Valet location information to come!
