This Thurs, Sept 1st from 5-9pm Lincoln Park Commons will be filled with the sweet and savory smells of over 3 dozen area eateries, as they host the 23rd Annual The Taste festival!

Local jazz guitarist Chris Bowman will play a combination of jazz, R&B and rock music to keep the crowds swaying as they line up for samples from the 30+ eateries scheduled to appear.

Advance tickets run $20, buy at the event and they’ll add on $5. Children under 10 are $10. As with any Fraze events, expect lines and remember you can’t bring outside drinks and purses are subject to searches.
