Taste of Atlanta On
The Move As The City’s Must-DO
Food Fest Turns Sweet
16
Historic Fourth Ward Park New Home for Oct.
20-22, 2017 Festival
ATLANTA (April 13, 2017) - Taste of Atlanta,
the city’s premier bites and bevs fest, celebrates its Sweet 16 anniversary
this October 20-22, with a brand-new home in one of the city’s hottest
neighborhoods. This year’s festival kicks off at Historic Fourth Ward Park with
a “Sweet 16” soiree hosted by Jonathan and Justin Fox of Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q on
Friday, October 20. The good times roll through the weekend with even more
food, wine, craft beer and cocktails from a who’s who of the city’s most
buzzworthy restaurants.
“To celebrate our 16th year, we’re thrilled to bring
Taste of Atlanta to Historic Fourth Ward Park in one of the city’s favorite
neighborhoods,” says festival founder Dale DeSena. “The move pairs the city’s
must-do food fest with the ease of walking and biking on Atlanta’s BeltLine,
and provides a spacious new permanent home for Taste of Atlanta. As always, we
want Atlanta’s best chefs and their fans to be in the center of the action.”
The 16th annual Taste of Atlanta will feature more than
200 nibbles, noms, sips and samples from the city’s neighborhood favorites
alongside today’s hottest, most creative restaurants. Atlanta eateries already
confirmed to be a part of Taste of Atlanta’s sweet 16 include Gus’s World
Famous Fried Chicken, 1Kept, Woody’s Cheesesteaks and Livingston Restaurant +
Bar.
In addition
to Saturday and Sunday’s food adventures filled with soul-satisfying samples,
festivalgoers can upgrade to a VIP Grand Tasting Experience to access exclusive
bites and beverages. This popular ticket option sells out every year, so
tasters are encouraged to purchase their VIP passes early. Chef demonstrations,
interactive panel conversations, music and more round out the schedule for a
weekend full of food and fun.
Hometown
chefs the Fox Bros. are looking forward to hosting Friday night’s Sweet 16
Kick-Off Party and bringing some top-notch chefs with them.
“Taste of Atlanta is one of our favorite yearly events,” say Jonathan and
Justin Fox. “It’s a great display of the amazing and varied food landscape that
this city has to offer. We are very honored to serve as hosts of the Taste of
Atlanta Kick-Off Party on October 20. We are looking forward to putting together
an all-star line-up of Atlanta chefs and making this the party of the year.”
Says DeSena: “As the city’s most affordable, chef-driven food fest,
we’re proud to continue Taste of Atlanta’s tradition of introducing passionate
festival attendees to the city’s newest trendsetting chefs along with enduring fan
favorites. We always have something new to experience each year, and we’re looking
forward to attendees exploring them in a beautiful new location this year.”
