The Taste was originally scheduled June 11 but was rescheduled by the KMO Chamber of Commerce due to inclement weather. Food already purchased for the original date was either used by the participating restaurants or donated to the Ronald McDonald House, according to organizers. City Barbeque is the only vendor from the initial date that will not participate Sunday.

Fraze Pavilion will not allow pets or coolers for the festival. The Taste is a ticketed event, and tickets can be purchased online in advance of the event for $25 per person. Tickets at the gate are $30, and admission for children 5 and older is $10.

Fraze Pavilion is located at 695 Lincoln Park Blvd. For more information or to buy tickets, visit www.fraze.com/the-taste-2023.
