Attendees will get to eat and drink unique creations from multiple downtown culinary businesses, mingle with fellow foodies, and make connections with downtown chefs and business owners. Enjoy a roaming, grazing, interactive, happy hour event to showcase the scrumptious talents of downtown's culinary district with festival-inspired entertainment to experience too. This event is largely standing-room only. The Liberty St. Mercantile does have an elevator access to The Loft on the second floor.

NEW: Announcing the Downtown Happy Hour Festival Room!

HDR is known for our fun, free community festivals, and this year we're going to incorporate some of that whimsy and joy into this event. Make no mistake—this event is still all about the delicious food and beverages, but we figured, why not add a little glitter makeup from The Glitter Bee, tarot card readings, and a make-your-own station featuring the “Posh Roll” (Cotton Candy, Sorbet, and toppings) with downtown business and festival favorite, Posh Fairy Floss, to your night out?! We hope you enjoy this fun, new addition to this already fun (and tasty) event!

$60 General Admission Ticket Includes:

Access to a wide selection of delectable food bites - come hungry!
Unlimited samplings of mocktails, cocktails, beer, cider, wine, coffee and more - no drink tickets needed
Opportunity to enjoy a festival-inspired entertainment from local entrepreneurs

Enjoy delicious bites and a variety of drinks from these establishments:

This is the official kick-off to Taste of Downtown Month - a full month celebrating Virginia's first culinary district with workshops, specials, and more. Learn more at TasteOfDowntownHburg.com.
