2013 Taste of Derby Festival a Deliciously Fun Time

Some events provide the excitement and some events provide the fun, but only the Taste of Derby Festival combines those elements with tremendous food and drink.  This year’s “Taste” will take place on April 17th from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Louisville Slugger Field, a great location and prime riverfront real estate.  Louisville has hosted the event for 15 years and there will be a little something for everyone, especially foodies relocating to Louisville for the Derby festivities.

The event has the feel of an upscale cocktail party, but admission is open to anyone that purchases the $80 ticket available by following this link.  Once admitted guests can expect signature dishes from over 65 of Louisville’s finest restaurants and beverage companies, a bourbon tasting, a Bloody Mary contest, wine tasting, and more!  A silent auction will also be held with all the proceeds going to help benefit the Dare to Care food bank for the less fortunate living in Louisville.  

The event usually sells out early and no tickets will be sold at the door so those who don’t act quickly will be stuck in their homes.  In Louisville word always travels fast about a good party, especially one with good food and bourbon!
