Taste Of Laguna Food & Music Festival Is This Thursday
Sample local chefs' tastiest morsels and listen to live music at the Festival of Arts Grounds—and don't forget to bid on the auction.
LAGUNA BEACH, CA—Foodies and live music fans will be heading to the Festival of Arts Grounds this Thursday for the Taste of Laguna Food and Music Festival. Locals chefs bring out their tastiest morsels while live bands provide the music to benefit two local nonprofits: The Laguna Beach Chamber of Commerce and your local radio station KX FM 104.7, home of human-crafted radio.
The fundraisers used to be separate events but combined forces in 2019 for a giant bash. Since 2020's fest was, of course, canceled, the reigning eateries who will try to retain their Foodie Award-winning status are:
- Most Delicious: Ocean at Main
- Best Plant-Based: Harley Laguna Beach
- Best Table Presentation: Oak Restaurant
- Best Dessert: 15FiftyFive (Surf & Sand Resort)
- People's Choice Award: The Lost Pier Café at the Ranch at Laguna Beach
Food and music are included with the admission price. Drink tickets will be available on-site, with several bars set up throughout the event space.
