HARTFORD TASTE
FRIDAY + SATURDAY
JUNE 6-7, 2025
12:00pm - 9:00pm
“Street Festival” Pratt & Trumbull St Downtown Hartford
For 2024, Hartford Taste is moving to a new home.
As the Hartford Taste grows, our goals remain the same…to support the positive climate of our whole community, both business and consumer, while raising significant monies to support Connecticut Foodshare.
We are proud that the event represents much of what makes us who we are - in the diversity of our food, our music and now art; and in the diversity of our attendees who come from throughout the region.
Be prepared for two days of fun and surprises!
OUR IMPACT
TESTIMONIALS
"The exposure that we received in just two days, was more than we often receive in one month! Our sales and exposure have definitely benefited." ~ Restauranteur
"It was nice to take the kids to an event that they could also enjoy! My husband and I were able to do our thing, while the kids did theirs!" ~ Guest
"Events like these help us to shine the light on the diversity that exists within our restaurants, our talent both creative and business, and our overall community!!" ~ Hartford Chamber of Commerce
Hartford Taste was our most successful event of the season! The amazing energy and vibe of Hartford Taste extended well beyond the event itself. We connected with so many new people who didn’t know about us prior to the event. We had a non-stop line for hours! After chatting with us and trying our ice cream at Hartford Taste, many have become loyal customers and cherished members of our ice cream family. I sincerely believe that by having the opportunity to get to know the face and names behind our product combined with the opportunity to try it at Hartford Taste, made it a true win-win for us! Countless visitors have walked into our shop and said “The first time we tried your ice cream was at Hartford Taste and we came back for more!” We love that and we are counting down the days for next year’s Hartford Taste! ~Small Business Owner
“Without a doubt our best experience so far. We are thankful for our amazing team and for the Hartford taste crew for the fenomenal job they did! We are ready for more, see you all next year.” ~Small Business Owner
