Advance tickets for the 14th annual Taste of Montgomery County are now on sale in select Crawfordsville locations. The Taste of Montgomery County will be held noon to 10 p.m. Aug. 28 at the General Lew Wallace Study and Museum.
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.; Crawfordsville Parks & Recreation Community Center at 922 E. South Blvd. Advance tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for students.
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., Highland Reign will perform Scots American folk rock. Local favorite War Radio will take the stage 4:30-6:30 p.m. Strawbury Jam headlines 8-10 p.m. with modern country rock.
The restaurants and caterers showcasing their foods at this year’s Taste include: Aki Les Voy Takeria, Backstep Brewery, Coal Creek Cellars, Francis & Mount, Hoosier Ice Queen, Street Penguin Gelato, Sunoco Crawfordsville, The Juniper Spoon, The Warehouse Bakery and Wildfire348.
