PORT TOWNSEND — Tickets are on sale for next month’s annual Taste of Port Townsend.
One ticket will pay for admission to nine restaurants that will offer tastes off their menus from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, June 12.
Tickets until June 1 are $25 for adults and $15 for those 12 and younger. Costs rise to $30 for adults and $20 for children after that date.
This will be the 24th edition of the Taste of Port Townsend, a fundraiser for the Port Townsend Main Street Program.
Three hundred tickets are available. Last year’s event sold out, said Mari Mullen, director of Port Townsend Main Street.
“We encourage people to make their plans in advance,” she said.
“We are excited about the mix of restaurants and the menu this year.
“The majority of the restaurants are located within the walkable downtown historic district this year, so you can get a little exercise in between tastes,” she added.
