The family-favorite summer food and music festival returns to the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium. Come on down to the boatyard after hours from 4:30 PM until 10 PM to indulge in local and regional bites while you enjoy music in the boatyard with the Mississippi River in the background.
Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets to use; however, a limited number of picnic tables will be available.
Taste of Summer is open to all ages and does not require general admission. Admission is a $5 donation to support conservation efforts at the River Museum. Beer/seltzer/beverage sales will also benefit conservation programs. Food vendors will compete for the People's Choice award, selected by a panel of River Museum team staff, volunteers, and community members.
Ample free parking is available in the public lots outside the River Museum.
