We would be pleased to have your participation in the 2019 Taste of Huntsville, an annual event hosted by the Huntsville Madison County Hospitality Association with proceeds benefiting two local charities. Our 2019 Charities are Kids to Love and Downtown Rescue Mission.

Event is scheduled for Tuesday evening, October 1st from 5:30 till 8 pm. It will be held at the Von Braun Center in the South Hall.

Huntsville’s Premier Event traditionally hosts around 900 attendees with 50+ restaurants, caterers, breweries, and suppliers providing food and beverage samples to the attendees. Each year we have an exciting THEME to our event for decoration purposes, and this year we have a new theme - "Taste or Treat".  More details will be provided as we get closer to the event.

We'll also have some exciting Giveaways included as a part of our Event this year to add some excitement to the evening, along with some entertainment! Lots of ideas are rolling in for this year's event, so jump in and join us as a participant this year!
