Celebrate Local Flavors at 31st Annual Taste of the Holidays

The community is invited to join the Rotary Club of Arcata Sunrise for its 31st annual “Taste of the Holidays” event on November 20 from 17:00 to 20:00 at the Arcata Community Center, located at 321 Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway. This festive gathering promises a delightful evening filled with culinary offerings from local food and beverage producers.

Attendees can sample a range of artisanal bites along with local wines, craft beers, and spirits. The event also features both Dutch and silent auctions, providing guests with opportunities to bid on unique items. In keeping with the spirit of giving, attendees are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy for the Toys for Tots initiative. In exchange for their generosity, guests will receive a ticket for a chance to win a special prize.

Tickets for the event are priced at $45 per person, which includes two drink tickets for tastings of wine, beer, or spirits. Additional beverage tickets will be available for purchase, and complimentary non-alcoholic options will also be offered. This event is designed for individuals aged 16 and older, making it a suitable occasion for families and friends to come together and celebrate.

Proceeds from “Taste of the Holidays” will support the local and global service projects of the Rotary Club of Arcata Sunrise. Tickets can be purchased online at www.ArcataSunrise.org or at the door, although early purchase is recommended as the event often sells out. Community members can also buy tickets directly from any member of the Rotary Club.

This annual event not only highlights the rich culinary scene of the region but also fosters community spirit and supports charitable initiatives. As the holiday season approaches, the “Taste of the Holidays” serves as a reminder of the importance of giving back while enjoying the flavors of the local area.
