Taste of Homewood to celebrate 15 years

One of the Homewood Chamber of Commerce’s most popular events will celebrate its 15th year of showcasing the city’s restaurants and vendors this month.

Taste of Homewood, sponsored by The Homewood Star, will return to Rosewood Hall and SoHo Square on Thursday, March 10.

The event usually boasts around 30 food vendors, as well as beer and wine samples. While Chamber Director Meredith Drennen said the full list of participants wouldn’t be nailed down until closer to the event, many favorites, such as AlaBev, are already signed up.

“It’s an event that restaurants get excited to participate in,” she said.

“There’s been some new additions to Homewood this year. We’re excited to get them involved.”

One of those newcomers, Your Pie pizzeria, committed early on to being a part of the event.

Drennen said what makes Taste of Homewood different from similar area events is that it is a “tasting event at heart,” and has unlimited samples. 

Tickets are $30 in advance and will be $40 the day of the event, which begins at 5:30 p.m.

With an expected attendance of around 500 guests, Taste of Homewood benefits the Chamber’s many programs, including scholarships for Homewood students and the Chamber’s economic development efforts.
