TASTE OF MADISON EVENT & FUNDRAISER

The Taste of Madison is a party for food lovers, a celebration of Madison as well as a fundraiser that benefits local non-profit initiatives.

Chefs from thirty of the area’s finest restaurants will serve samples of their best dishes. Gary's Wine & Marketplace will provide guests with fine wine, beer, and spirits. The Taste has a Silent Auction, Trick Tray and 50/50 Raffle. Tickets must be purchased in advance and guests must be at least 21 years old. The recommended attire is business casual. 

"The Taste of Madison was established in 2002 as a fun, town-wide fundraiser that is a cure for the winter blues", stated organizers. In its previous nineteen editions, the Taste of Madison has raised more than $600,000 and entertained more than 8,000 guests.

Please consider buying your tickets though the KRS PTO. We will receive $20 for every ticket we sell! Please see the flyer below for more info.
