Troy Main Street, in conjunction with the Walk to End Alzheimer’s is proud to announce the 2015 Taste of Troy presented by Gordon Orthodontics on Saturday, September 19th from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The event is held annually in downtown to showcase Troy’s many local restaurants.

Visitors to the event can sample the culinary stylings of more than 17 hometown restaurants, enjoy craft beer and local wines in the new beer and wine garden sponsored by Country Concert, listen to live music provided by Square Roots Records, shop at the Downtown Farmers Market which, open until 2 p.m., and check out the plethora of downtown shops.

There will be plenty of familiar faces this year including La Piazza, The Caroline, Basil’s, and Winans, and several new participants including Loudmouth Burgers and The Duck Wagon. “Tastes” will include a diverse array of menu items featuring up to three different offerings from each participating restaurant. Guests can expect Italian, American, Mexican, desserts, drinks, and several other types of cuisine.

“This is an exciting year for us with a new footprint for the event, with food booths lining Main Street, between Plum and the traffic circle, and of course the beer and wine garden” states Stephanie Silk, Marketing and Events coordinator for Troy Main Street. “The Taste of Troy is always a vibrant and fun event for our community and we hope that with the new layout, restaurant line up, and the addition of the beer and wine garden, more people will be drawn to our downtown to enjoy all that Troy has to offer!”
