The Easley Winery’s street festival, "Taste of Downtown", moves to new hours this year -- 'cause a noon-time August festival can be too hot to be cool!The Fifth Annual Taste of Downtown returns to College Avenue (between Ohio and New York streets) on 9 August (Saturday), beginning at 4 p.m. and continuing until 10 p.m.
Major emphasis this year falls on a collector car show, with about 50 cars from a 1927 Ford Model A to a 1967 Shelby Cobra.
More than 10 restaurants will be featured at the 2008 Taste of Downtown, including Scholars’ Inn; J. Gumbos; The Villa; Da Blue Lagoon; Dick’s Bodacious BBQ; Circle City Pizza; O’Malia’s Grill; and Bugg’s Temple. All food items, in sample portions, will be priced under $5.
Music acts include Tastes Like Chicken (4-6 p.m.), Toy Factory (6-8 p.m.) and The Tides (8 -10 p.m.). Various street exhibits will feature work by area artists and promotional give-aways by local businesses.
People attending the Taste of Downtown are asked to bring a canned food item for donation to the Gleaner’s Food Bank.
