A little cheers to big flavors.

We hope you’re hungry because Taste of Hillcrest is coming back on Saturday, April 8, 12-4 p.m.

If you’re new to the fun, this 21+ self-guided tour allows participants to dig into samples from select restaurants spanning Third Avenue to Park Boulevard. Along the walk, you’ll find flavors from across the world, local staples, and plenty of drinks.

Only a sample of the 25+ participating restaurants have been announced, but we’re already craving cold brew from Lestat’s, tacos from Baja Betty’s, and cupcakes from Babycakes. Ticket holders will also receive a Fabulous Hillcrest lanyard and map of participating locations, so you can craft your own tasty adventure.

🎟 Pre-sale tickets are $35 and will increase to $40 on the day of the event. Pro tip: This event does tend to sell out, so make those plans early.
