The Downtown Encinitas MainStreet Association (www.encinitas101.com) is pleased to present its 24th Annual Taste of MainStreet on Tuesday, August 20th from 5:30pm-8:30pm. Treat your taste buds to food samples from 35 restaurants, and quench your thirst with wine and beer served at a more than a dozen Sip Stops. Pause along the way to enjoy live music at many venues along this popular stretch of Coast Hwy 101.
Nearly every Downtown Encinitas restaurant will be offering free food samples at tables outside their restaurants. Ticketholders will be able to sample food from two new restaurants, The Bier Garden and Lobster West, as well as new dishes from previous participants.
For the first time, the Taste of MainStreet will include wine and beer samples, available at Sip Stops hosted by various downtown shops and salons. Wines will be provided by members of the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association (www.TemeculaWines.org) and beer will be donated by local craft breweries.
Also new this year are several additional music venues. Participants will be able to enjoy music from talented local performers at 8-10 locations inside and in between the restaurants and Sip Stops.
Tickets go on sale Friday, July 26 at www.encinitas101.com and at the Encinitas 101 office (818 S. Coast Hwy 101). Advance tickets are just $25 for food only and $35 for food and drinks (for those 21+). Same day tickets (if available) are an additional $5. Tickets are limited to 1000 and this event usually sells out early. Those unable to get a ticket are welcome to come enjoy the free musical performances and have a meal at any one of the participating restaurants.
