Advance tickets for the 15th annual Taste of Montgomery County go on sale today in select Crawfordsville locations. The Taste of Montgomery County will be held at the General Lew Wallace Study and Museum on Aug. 27 from noon to 10 p.m.
Visitors can purchase Taste tickets at the Carriage House Interpretive Center of the General Lew Wallace Study and Museum, home of the Taste; the Montgomery County Visitors and Convention Bureau at Fusion 54; Milligan’s Flowers & Gifts at 115 E. Main St.; and Crawfordsville Parks & Recreation Community Center at 922 E. South Blvd. Advance tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for students. Credit cards can be accepted only at the Museum.
The Taste of Montgomery County is an annual fundraiser for the Lew Wallace Study Preservation Society, the organization that maintains General Lew Wallace’s original artifacts and keeps his legacy alive. All proceeds from gate ticket sales directly benefit educational programming at the museum, while food ticket sales are split between the museum and the vendors.
The benefits of purchasing advance tickets are twofold. Advance tickets are cheaper — adult tickets at the gate on the day of the Taste will be $7 and student tickets will be $3. Advance ticket holders will also be able to get into the gate faster on the day of the Taste, as they won’t have to wait in line to purchase tickets.
This could be a real advantage when crowds gather for the live musical acts scheduled to play at this year’s Taste! From 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., the Elizabeth Lee Duo will perform. Indiana-born Nashville star Eliana Weston will take the stage from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The Warrior Kings headline from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. with hard rock-blues fusion.
The restaurants and caterers showcasing their foods at this year’s Taste include: Aki Les Voy Takeria, China Inn, Coal Creek Cellars, Four Seasons, Francis & Mount, Greek’s Pizzeria, Hoosier Ice Queen, Sunoco Crawfordsville, The Juniper Spoon and more.
