We smell something exciting cooking — the 2023 Taste of North Park will return for its 12th year on Sat., Oct. 7, 11 a.m.-3 p.m.

The self-guided foodie fest will offer bites and sips from 40+ restaurants, breweries, cafes, and shops — including Mabel’s Gone Fishing, the buzzy seafood spot that recently received Bib Gourmand status from the Michelin Guide.

As you walk around the neighborhood to sample flavors, you’ll also experience live music, art, and boutique shops. This year, the event will introduce two electric shuttles on University Avenue and 30th Street, and attendees can hop on and off as they explore.

Tickets are $65 for food and drinks — $45 for just food and $30 for just beverages. We recommend registering in advance, because it’s expected to sell out.
