2025 Taste of Alpharetta

If you have a brick-and-mortar location in Alpharetta or a neighboring city, we invite your restaurant to apply to the 2025 Taste of Alpharetta! 

Now in its 33rd year, Taste of Alpharetta is an annual tradition for 30,000 festival-goers, families, and foodies! No food trucks or food vendors without a brick-and-mortar facility are accepted to the event.

Restaurants will promote and sell their highlighted specialties by charging up to six tickets (tickets are $1.00) per sample. This allows you to market your restaurant to more than 30,000 people in one evening!

EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT RATE

Take advantage of our Early Bird Discount Rate on your booth space by signing up before January 17, 2025, and get $50 OFF the regular booth space fee.  

REVENUE SHARE

All participating restaurants will receive a revenue share for the TasteBucks food tickets redeemed at your booth. Our revenue share model is based on a sliding scale, so the more you sell, the higher percentage you get paid!

FOOD RESCUE 

The City of Alpharetta is teaming up with a local food rescue partner, so any leftover food samples you have can be collected at the event conclusion and delivered to people in need.

CULINARY COMPETITION and PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS

All participating restaurants are eligible to sign up to participate in the Taste of Alpharetta Culinary Awards, which dishes out awards in a variety of categories based on our blind judging competition on-site at the event. In addition, all participating restaurants will be eligible for the People’s Choice Awards, voted on by the fans attending the event.
