Community Gathers for 31st Annual Taste of the Holidays Event

The Rotary Club of Arcata Sunrise is set to host its 31st annual “Taste of the Holidays” on November 20, 2023, from 17:00 to 20:00 at the Arcata Community Center, located at 321 Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway. This much-anticipated event invites community members to enjoy a festive evening filled with culinary delights and local beverages.

Guests will have the opportunity to sample a variety of offerings from dozens of local food and beverage producers. Attendees can indulge in everything from artisanal bites to a selection of local wines, craft beers, and spirits. In addition to the tastings, the event will feature both Dutch and silent auctions, adding an exciting element to the evening.

In the spirit of giving, participants are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy for the Toys for Tots initiative. For each toy donated, guests will receive a ticket for a special prize drawing. This charitable gesture aligns with the Rotary Club’s commitment to community service.

Tickets for the “Taste of the Holidays” are priced at $45 per person, which includes two drink tickets that can be used for wine, beer, or spirit tastings. Additional beverage tickets will be available for purchase, along with complimentary non-alcoholic options. The event is designed for guests aged 16 and older, making it a family-friendly outing for those looking to celebrate the season.

Proceeds from this event will support the Rotary Club of Arcata Sunrise and its ongoing local and global service initiatives. Tickets are currently available for purchase at www.ArcataSunrise.org and at the door on the day of the event. Given the popularity of this occasion, early ticket purchase is recommended, as the event often sells out. Tickets can also be acquired directly from any member of the Rotary Club of Arcata Sunrise.

This gathering not only showcases local culinary talent but also emphasizes the importance of community engagement and support during the holiday season. The Rotary Club of Arcata Sunrise encourages everyone to attend and contribute to a worthy cause while enjoying the festive atmosphere.
