HARTFORD TASTE
FRIDAY + SATURDAY
JUNE 6-7, 2025
12:00pm - 9:00pm
Street Festival
Pratt & Trumbull St Downtown Hartford
In 2024 we moved Hartford Taste from Constitution Plaza to Downtown Hartford.
Being on Pratt and Trumbull Streets in the heart of Hartford's central business district gives us more room to showcase the amazing food, music, art, and culture of the Capital region. Since our first Hartford Taste in 2022, our goals have remained the same: to support the positive climate of our whole community, both business and consumer, while raising significant monies to support Connecticut Foodshare.
We are proud that this event represents much of what makes us who we are - in the diversity of our food, our music, and our art, and in the diversity of our attendees who come from throughout the region.
Be prepared for two days of fun and surprises!
OUR IMPACT
Proceeds of this event support Connecticut Foodshare, the food bank serving Connecticut. As the exclusive beneficiary of this event, Connecticut Foodshare will receive essential funding to help support its work to provide millions of meals to people in need throughout the year. Connecticut Foodshare will be on-site at the event to provide information as well as answer questions about the work they do every day, maximizing access to nutritious food and other resources in its efforts to reduce food insecurity.
TESTIMONIALS
Hartford Taste was our most successful event of the season! The amazing energy and vibe of Hartford Taste extended well beyond the event itself. We connected with so many new people who didn’t know about us prior to the event. We had a non-stop line for hours! After chatting with us and trying our ice cream at Hartford Taste, many have become loyal customers and cherished members of our ice cream family. I sincerely believe that by having the opportunity to get to know the face and names behind our product combined with the opportunity to try it at Hartford Taste, made it a true win-win for us! Countless visitors have walked into our shop and said “The first time we tried your ice cream was at Hartford Taste and we came back for more!” We love that and we are counting down the days for next year’s Hartford Taste!
