Petaluma now has over 140 restaurants and this Saturday, the 6th annual Taste of Petaluma will offer delectables served up by more than 60 of our town’s finest chefs, food purveyors, wineries and breweries. “Taste” is the perfect way to acquaint yourself with Petaluma’s upscale culinary offerings in blissful generously-portioned tastes. Tickets are sold in lots of ten and a single ticket allows you a taste from a large group of participants, growing by the day. This year, there are more vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free offerings than ever. All of the purveyors ARThound will be recommending use fresh locally-grown or sourced ingredients, so stay tuned for a full review later this week. Also included in the ticket package is live entertainment, from music to belly dancing to a magician and more.
All of the purveyors generously donate their food to Taste, knowing that a sample is the best advertising that money can buy and because they recognize the importance of supporting Cinnabar Theater. Located in the old school house on the hill at corner of Skillman Lane and Petaluma Blvd. North, Cinnabar Theatre is a professional non-profit 501(c)(3) regional theatre that serves an annual audience of over 15,000. It is the only venue in Sonoma County that produces opera and musical theater, dramatic theater, chamber series, dance and special festivals and it is entirely dependent on private funding to provide its exceptional programming. Taste of Petaluma, along with the Great Chile Cookoff (held each May), Salsa and Beer Tasting (held each May) are the theatre’s two fundraisers.
