Taste of Atlanta is the city's long-running culinary festival series, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026 with a run of hyperlocal tasting events held on Thursday nights around metro Atlanta. Each event pairs complimentary bites from area restaurants and chefs with wine, beer, craft cocktails, and live entertainment.
Its city food identity makes it a strong Georgia food row.
Rather than a single one-day festival, Taste of Atlanta operates as a season of separate Grand Tasting events staged across different parts of the metro area, including Alpharetta and Midtown, giving suburban and intown food lovers dedicated evenings closer to home
Its 25th anniversary in 2026 marks a quarter-century of showcasing Atlanta's restaurant and chef community, with a special anniversary tasting event branded The Works held in the Upper Westside neighborhood
The festival's format of rotating
hyperlocal Grand Tasting evenings rather than a single citywide event has become its defining structure over 25 years
giving different metro Atlanta neighborhoods their own dedicated night with area chefs and restaurants
