If you have a brick and mortar location in Alpharetta or a neighboring city, we invite your restaurant to apply to the 2020 Taste of Alpharetta! The event has become an annual tradition for festival-goers, families and foodies for 30 years. No food vendors are accepted to the event. Restaurants will highlight their specialties by charging up to eight tickets (tickets are $0.50) per sample. This allows you to market your restaurant to more than 50,000 people in one evening! NEW INITIATIVE for 2020 - We are excited to offer a Zero Waste area to our Restaurants this year and it is sponsored by the City and Compost Now. We will be promoting with additional marketing on social media. Each restaurant will choose to participate either: a) Participate as a restaurant booth in Zero Waste area or b) Participate as a restaurant booth NOT in the Zero Waste area If you are interested in this area, you will be required to pre-purchase compostable tableware on a separate application, and it will be delivered to your Taste booth on event day! Additionally, the City will be joining with a local organization to rescue any leftover restaurant food at the end of the event. More details to follow!
