NEW DATE AND TIME!

As a precaution against expected inclement weather, and because we want to ensure everyone has a wonderful time, EPIC's Taste of St. Augustine and The Race to the Taste events have been postponed (for the first time in 25 years!).

Please plan to come out for the rescheduled date: Tuesday, May 30th, from 4:00 – 9:00 p.m. (The Race will start at 6:30pm) Same format: delicious food, great music, a children's area, and the Race!

Everyone likes to eat! The annual Taste of St. Augustine food festival highlights the culinary heritage and culture of St. Johns County by showcasing new restaurants and established favorites at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre from 4:00pm to 9:00pm. Sample our local cuisine and learn about our area’s food culture! 

When you first arrive at the Taste, you will be greeted with the sights, sounds and delectable aromas from an eclectic mix of St. Augustine restaurants – from the casual to the upscale. As you pay your $5.00 admission (children admitted free and free parking), you will receive a map which indicates the participating restaurants, their location at the Taste and the dish(es) they are serving. $1.00 “Taste” tickets will be sold at the event to sample the restaurants food! This will allow you to make a plan for your culinary exploration! There will be a FREE children’s area too! The children’s area will include fun activities such as face painting and arts/crafts! 

Come enjoy the great food and music with Chillula and Funk Shui! Don’t forget to vote for your favorite vendor to win the People’s Choice Award! 

And know that the proceeds from the Taste allow EPIC Behavioral Healthcare (Education, Prevention, Intervention, and Counseling) to continue offering mental health and substance use counseling, serving the St. Johns community since 1973.  

There will be a free shuttle will be running from the R.B. Hunt Elementary School athletic fields to the Amphitheatre. Parking will also be available at the Elks Lodge (just south of Amphitheatre).
