A Tasty Time in Roswell

The Annual Taste of Roswell - Oct. 15, noon - 5:30 pm

Ladies and Gentlemen, start your tastebuds! It’s time for the yummiest fall event in Roswell: the annual Taste of Roswell.

Come on down to the Historic Square, this Saturday, Oct. 15, noon – 5:30 p.m. for a great chance to enjoy a beautiful fall day while sampling food from Roswell’s favorite restaurants. Throw in a radio station playing great music and fun family-friendly contests and you have a great recipe for a fun afternoon.

If you’re not from “around here,” the Historic Roswell Square is located at the intersection of Marietta Highway (Ga. 120) and Atlanta Street (Ga. 9).

On this fine fall Saturday, over 25 Roswell eateries will be selling samples of some of the items on their menus on the square in downtown Roswell. Make the ticket tent your first stop to visit the smiling volunteers and purchase your food tickets for 50 cents each. Samples are one to six tickets (50 cents to $3 in value). I usually start with $5 worth of tickets, scope out the tents to see what each restaurant is selling, buy my samples and chow down. If I still have room left in my stomach, I figure out how many more tickets I need and purchase a few more and start the fun all over again.

After you’ve eaten your fill, make sure you stop back by the ticket tent and vote on your favorite restaurants. The friendly competition between restaurants includes:  Friendliest, Best Decorated, Favorite Item and the coveted Most Popular, which is determined by your taste purchases.

While you’re digesting your food and deciding if you really need just one or two more desserts, grab a chair in front of the bandstand and enjoy the music and dance contests. In addition to the music from 106.7 Atlanta’s Greatest Hits, you and your family can participate in:

  • Hula Hoop Contest
  • Bean Bag Toss
  • The Twist Dance Contest
  • Hokie Pokie
  • Electric Slide
  • Line Dancing

So stop reading, get out your calendar, and mark it down to be at the Historic Square in Roswell, this Saturday, Oct. 15 from noon – 5:30 p.m. See you there!
