Texarkana’s most delicious night of the year is back as Harvest Regional Food Bank presents the 32nd Annual Taste of Texarkana on Tuesday, October 14, from 5–8 p.m. at the Four States Fairgrounds Arena.
The highly anticipated fundraiser will feature more than 40 food and beverage vendors, each offering samples of their best dishes while competing for awards including Best of Taste and Crowd Favorite.
“Taste of Texarkana has been one of the area’s favorite charity events for over three decades,” said Camille Coker Wrinkle, Executive Director of Harvest Regional Food Bank. “Thanks to our generous sponsors and community support, everyone is able to come together for a family-friendly night of fun and great food, all while supporting our mission to end hunger across southwest Arkansas and northeast Texas.”
This year’s event is made possible by Grand Presenting Sponsors Dr. Ly and Aaron Gaylor, with additional support from the Patterson-Troike Foundation, Wholesale Electric Supply Co., and main course sponsors including Cooper Tire, Ledwell Office Solutions, Simmons Bank, and TEXAR Federal Credit Union.
“Taste of Texarkana is always such a fun and engaging event,” said Aaron Gaylor. “It’s wonderful to see the community come out to support Harvest Regional Food Bank, and it’s always a pleasure to reconnect with so many familiar faces.”
Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door for adults, $10 for children ages 6–12, and free for children 5 and under. VIP tickets are available for $50, which include reserved seating, a beverage station, and other exclusive perks. VIP tables are also available.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.harvestregionalfoodbank.org or at TEXAR Federal Credit Union’s main branch on Richmond Road, Julie’s Deli & Market, Ace Hardware on Kings Highway, and Harvest Regional Food Bank.
All proceeds from the event benefit Harvest Regional Food Bank’s hunger relief programs, which serve thousands of families in southwest Arkansas and northeast Texas.
