25th Taste of the North End

Celebrating 25 years, the 2018 annual Taste of the North End was a festival of food, charity and commemoration of the rich history of the neighborhood. The event keeps getting larger with a record 800+ patrons coming out on Friday night to the neighborhood's largest fundraiser at the Steriti Memorial Ice Rink in the North End. There were showcase samples from more than 30 popular North End eateries with a wide array of delectable appetizers, cheeses, entrees and desserts. Revelers also sipped on refreshing libations from area wine and beer distributors.

25th Taste of the North End featured over 40 restaurants and suppliers donating their delicious food and libations
