Residents and visitors will enjoy a true “taste” of our local communities — from delicious food samples and creative products to valuable services and hometown hospitality.
A $5 gate fee will be charged for guests ages 6 and up. Children 5 and under are free.
Once inside the park, activities and booths are free to enjoy. Cash sales will only occur at food trucks and the cash bar.
Whether your business serves food, offers professional services, sells retail goods, or simply wants to engage with the community, you have a place at Taste of the Towns. Why participate?
- Highlight your business and build local recognition
- Connect face-to-face with hundreds of area residents

Each participating business is asked to incorporate one interactive element into their booth, such as:

Food trucks are welcome but are not included in the free booth spaces. Food truck vendors must contact the Chamber directly at info@nyachamber.org for participation instructions and event requirements.
