17th Annual Taste of Wethersfield Benefit

The XVII Annual Taste of Wethersfield benefit returns on Saturday, April 5th from 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm at The Keeney Memorial Cultural Center, 200 Main Street, Wethersfield. Once again, the Keeney Center comes alive with the flavors and aromas of the area’s finest food and drink. Last year's co-host Nacho King Alex P. Taylor has graciously agreed to return and emcee this year’s “Taste”.

Long-time “Taste” favorites, the Hot Cat Jazz Band, are back again to provide the evening’s soundtrack. The process of “Taste” remains the same: Attendees pay one admission and can try offerings from several local restaurants, caterers, breweries, and wine vendors, all under one roof. Samples of signature dishes and beverages are available at every station. All your local favorites will be there with many more additions arriving daily. Throughout the evening, a silent auction is conducted, offering guests the opportunity to bid on unique goods and services from local vendors.

Taste of Wethersfield helps fund Wethersfield Historical Society’s free or low cost educational and cultural programming for children and adults.

“Taste” is a party for those 21 and over only. Tickets go on sale March 1. They can be purchased here on EventBrite or in person at the Wethersfield Historical Society’s office in the Old Academy (150 Main Street, Wethersfield), 10:00 am to 4:00 pm Tuesday through Friday.
