Taste Chandler culinary festival moving to Downtown Ocotillo in October

After four years in downtown Chandler, the Taste Chandler culinary festival is being moved by its organizer to Downtown Ocotillo, a commercial development southwest of Dobson and Queen Creek roads.

The fifth annual Taste will take place from 6-10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19. Tickets are $65 in advance and $80 at the gate, and include unlimited food (while supplies last), 12 drink tickets, and access to the craft beer, wine and spirits lounges.

A special $130 “couples package” adds a gift bag with a bottle of wine, two souvenir glasses, and other gifts from local restaurants.

Meanwhile, the non-profit Downtown Chandler Community Partnership is planning its own downtown culinary event for the spring.
