Want a Taste of Akron?

If there are three things I love they are:

Akron!

Great food.

..and my doggos!


Here’s two upcoming foodie-centric, Akron festivals to get your taste buds tingling!

No, my babies won’t be there, but hello..? Doggie bags?


A potential hitch in this culinary giddy-up?

They’re on the same day. 

But plan well, and you’ll feast your way through the day!

And it’s a Saturday! So Sunday is just like Dutch for “sleep,” right?


First ( and I say that because of the schedule, people!) is 

A Taste of Urban Vision.

Beginning at noon on Saturday, June 4th (you’ll need tickets, buy them ASAP!), you will nosh on foods from multiple cultures!

Nepali Samosas? Yes!

Mexican Chicken Tinga? I’ll try it!

American ribs and Mac-n-cheese? Please!

…and much, much more!

Tickets are only $10 if you buy them in advance, AND you get to feel good about your purchase because the funds raised support Urban Vision of North Hill. And your “gift” of purchasing a ticket will be matched (DOUBLED)! 

And you get to eat amazing food? 

Whaaa?

Win + Win = Yes. Abso-freakin-lutely.


Second is the Akron Taste for Space! 

It’s also June 4th, but It goes from 1-4pm, so rally! You got this!

Their link LITERALLY says “Calling all foodies!” and unless you despise amazing food, you’re a “foodie.”

Deal with it.

It’s at the Belden Village Mall, and it’s basically food trucks, staffed with chefs, trying to out-yum each other. 

I, for one, love to be in the middle of chefs trying to “impress” the noshers!

It’s a Culinary Cook-off!

Guests vote for the winner, but who isn’t a winner when it’s yumminess everywhere?

No losers, here.


So here are the links to both.

Get your tickets!


Eat big! Eat well! 

Enjoy Akron’s foodie culture! 

Or it’s carbs! Don’t really care!


Either way, Bon Appétit, Akron!
