The 45th annual Taste of Louisville tasting competition is switching it up Wednesday at 6 p.m. For the first time ever, the event will be held at Churchill Downs, 700 Central Ave, with vendors set up in the Paddock area. Over 800 people are expected to attend the annual food fest that benefits the Louisville Chapter of the Kentucky Restaurant Association, Home of the Innocents, Jill’s Wish, and Love City.
Over 800 people are expected to show up for delicious tasts from over 50 food and beverage exhibitors vying for prizes in three categorees: sweet, savory, and swig. Attendees will be the judges as they also enjoy a silent disco lounge where they can dance to music listened to over wireless headphones.
Tickets are $65 per person or $750 for a table of 8. You can order your tickets online at their website.
