On the heels of what most described as the best Taste of Arcadia ever, the 2015 event has been set for September 28 at the lush Los Angeles County Arboretum. Deadline for advance discount tickets is Tuesday, June 30.
Returning Gold Sponsors of the city’s signature event are Westfield Santa Anita, Methodist Hospital, and BMW of Monrovia. Rose Hills Memorial Park & Mortuary is once again sponsoring the Business Showcase at the Taste.
Last year’s outdoor event drew a record crowd of more than 1,500 attendees and more than nearly 100 vendors and entertainers.
Attendees enjoy the many different foods and tastes from more than 40 of the most exciting local restaurants, caterers and wine-and-beer vendors at no additional charge beyond the admission ticket.
Tickets may be purchased here in Shop area of Arcadia Chamber web site, by calling 626-447-2159, or in person at the Chamber office at 388 W. Huntington Drive, Arcadia, 91007.
Members of the Arcadia Chamber can save nearly 44% off the full $80 day-of-event ticket price at the gate by purchasing an unlimited number of tickets for $45 each by June 30. Those who are not members of the Arcadia Chamber can also enjoy a big savings with a $55 ticket price.
As always, a percentage of proceeds from Taste of Arcadia are donated to local non-profit organizations — $5 per ticket for every ticket sold by a pre-approved organization.
In addition to the antique motorcycle show, returning this year is the Hollywood premiere-style Red Carpet Experience created by Printing Control in partnership with Arcadia’s Selfie Selfie photo studio. Also returning will be the popular Arcadia High School drum line performing at the main gate before the show begins and then leading the first arrivals down to the venue in a marching band parade style.
The popular VIP Reserved Tables for ten guests, including a personal usher and exclusive seating around the picture-esque fountain, can be purchased by Arcadia Chamber members for $499 before June 30 ($599 for non-members). That’s a huge savings from the full price of $750 as of July 1. The limited number of VIP tables sold out well in advance of the event last year, so get your order in right away.
For a little extra, you can reserve the Peacock Package for $999, which gets you the same VIP Reserved Table for 10, a personal usher, and your logo and name in event publicity, as well as the option to provide an item to be included in 1,500 gift bags at the event.
The Business Showcase at the Taste is nearly sold out with more than 40 vendors and five new car dealers. The first vendors that pay their fee will be locked in to a space; others will be on a waiting list. Likewise, there are only a few spots left for food and beverage participants. Food and beverage vendors pay no fee but those that turn in their required paperwork to Chamber first will be first to lock in their booths.
