Celebrating 30+ Years of Local Flavor and Community

An evening of food and purpose supporting hunger relief efforts

The Taste of Texarkana returns for its 33rd year as one of the area's most anticipated community traditions. This beloved event brings together local restaurants, businesses, and neighbors for a family-friendly evening of food and connection. Attendees can move at their own pace through a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere designed for food enthusiasts and families alike, sampling the rich culinary diversity our town has to offer.


More than just a night out, the event serves as the premier annual fundraiser for Harvest Regional Food Bank.

It is a unique celebration that perfectly balances community enjoyment with a vital local purpose.
