The Taste of Atlanta is set to take place Friday, October 18 through Sunday, October 20, 2019 in Midtown Atlanta. The event will be held at Historic Fourth Ward Park.
The award-winning food event will feature the best of Atlanta’s craft beer, wine and spirits.
Taste of Atlanta 2019: Everything you need to know
The Taste of Atlanta will showcase the local restaurant scene, featuring more than 100 restaurants as well as on-stage cooking demos, cooking classes and new this year, Food Districts, a more expansive VIP Experience and a Saturday night concert. Here’s what’s in store:
Opening Night Party (October 18)
Friday kicks off with the Opening Night Party hosted by Chef Nick Leahy of Aix and Tin Tin, the evening will bring together a roster of well-regarded local chefs who focus on sourcing ingredients locally and cooking seasonally. From 7:30-11pm, participating restaurants, including Kimball House, Tiny Lous, Bellina Alimentari, KR Steakbar, Double Zero and dozens more, will serve tastings alongside wine, beer and cocktails. Plus, the celebration will feature live music from Moontower and a portion of the evening’s proceeds will support Georgia Grown’s restaurant partnership program.
Main Tasting Events (October 19 & 20)
Bringing together chefs from neighborhoods across Atlanta and representing dozens of cuisines, Taste of Atlanta will serve as a destination to try bites from over 100 restaurants all in one place. Plus, this year’s festival will feature Food Districts, including Tailgating, Buford Highway, The Battery, Sunday Brunch and more.
Cooking Classes & Demos: Sponsored by PeachDish
The Cook’s Warehouse and Sprouts, Kitchen Workshop offers free, hands-on cooking classes for home cooks led by Atlanta chefs. Festival attendees will learn to cook a variety of cuisines, from Southern to Italian to vegan. Attendees will also get an inside view into the Atlanta culinary world at Chef’s Table and Home Plate Stages, where chefs will demonstrate how to prepare mouthwatering dishes and provide tastings of their creations.
Saturday Night Concert (October 19)
For the first time, Taste of Atlanta will continue into the evening on Saturday of festival weekend with a concert from 7-11pm. While the band remains a surprise until later this summer, attendees can expect sing-along, light rock hits from a favorite local band. Guests will be able to bring their own chairs and blankets to enjoy tunes on the lawn, and local food trucks will be selling bites for purchase alongside drinks.
Prior to the event, ticket holders will receive wristbands equipped with radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, making Taste of Atlanta a cashless festival. The wristbands are pre-loaded with Taste Points which can be used for drink and merchandise purchases as well as food tastings ranging from one to three points each. General admission ticket holders will receive 10 Taste Points, and additional points can be purchased for $1 each online or at Taste Point Banks located throughout the festival. Wristbands track tastes sampled and provide attendees with a post-event tasting list, serving as a customized roundup of restaurant recommendations for future dining out. VIP Experience provides access to an all-inclusive festival area with tastings from around a dozen select restaurants and pours from craft beer, wine and cocktail makers. VIP ticket holders can access the General Admission area of the festival and will also receive a post-event tasting list from restaurants enjoyed in all areas of the festival.
Tickets will go on sale in mid-July for Friday’s Opening Night Party and Saturday and Sunday’s main tasting events. Later this summer, tickets will be available for the concert on Saturday evening. Ticket prices begin at $25, and guests are encouraged to buy early.

Atlanta movie mogul Tyler Perry left the BET Awards show ablaze on Sunday night’s broadcast with a stirring words about empowerment. Tyler Perry’s BET Awards speech set the tone for the night.
Perry used Atlanta to make a point about how he was investing in the city so that dreamers that don’t have means — poor dreamers — dreamers of color — could be inspired by him.
Tyler Perry reps Atlanta in BET Awards speech
“While everybody was fighting for a seat at the table, talking about ‘Oscars so white, Oscars so white,’ I said y’all go ahead and do that, but while you’re fighting for a seat at the table, I”ll be down in Atlanta building my own.”

“Own your stuff, own your business, own your way.”
