Foodie Feast: Mayor Ogle's Taste Of Frankfort Set To Return Tuesday

FRANKFORT, IL — Frankfort foodies will have a chance to try out some of the village's finest fare when Frankfort Mayor Keith Ogle's Taste of Frankfort returns Tuesday.

The political fundraising event is scheduled from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at CD&ME, 23320 S. LaGrange Road in Frankfort.

“Everyone enjoyed the event last fall and ticket sales are already ahead of last year," Ogle said. "It truly does provide residents and visitors a chance to sample some of the best food in the region. There will also be a photo booth, as well, and it is just a great networking event with other people. We look forward to another fun and lively event."

More than 20 Frankfort-based restaurants are expected to sample their finest cuisines for attendees. Guests can also purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win specialty raffle baskets and restaurant gift cards.

Taste of Frankfort was popularized under former Frankfort Mayor Jim Holland. It was held annually until 2016 before going on hiatus until Ogle started the tradition back up in 2021.

The event is a political fundraiser for Ogle, as it was for Holland before him; however, no part of the Village of Frankfort is involved in the sponsorship of Taste of Frankfort, Ogle said.

Tickets for Taste of Frankfort are $50 and include samplings from all the restaurants at the event. There are also various sponsorship levels still available for those interested. Tickets can be purchased by following this link.
