This year’s line-up boasts exciting neighborhood newcomers such as Leuca, Llama Inn, Du’s Donuts and Cheeseboat, as well as TASTE veterans like Pies ‘n’ Thighs and Maison Premiere.

Aside from good eats, guests can enjoy entertainment from a kids’ band selected by the Williamsburg School of Music. Interactive activities for attendees will include the St. Nick’s Alliance book mobile on site for kids, a photo booth from Nice Think creative agency, a pop-up market by Artists and Fleas and much more fun for everyone.
As in years prior, 100% of the proceeds will go to benefit the Firehouse North Brooklyn Community Center, located in the former Engine 212 Firehouse at 134 Wythe Avenue. Thanks in large part of support from partners the support TASTE, the Firehouse is on track to reach its fundraising goal and reopen its doors to the community in 2017.
