Taste of Summer Festival
kicks off the summer season with the amazing small business members from the Heart of Food organization. Each food vendor will have several small bite options ($5 or less) in addition to their full menu allowing you to be able to get more "tastes" from more vendors.
Additionally we will have an artisan village, live music all day and beer tent sponsored by the nonprofit Heart of Food.
Line ups and additional event details will be available spring 2026.
All of our events are family friendly, including well behaved leashed furry family members. We encourage everyone to bring a lawn chair and/or blanket. Find a space enjoy your food, listen to great music and mingle with your neighbors.
That is what community is all about!

We understand that parking is frustrating. We ask that everyone be respectful of the neighborhood, and park only in legal parking spaces.
