Taste of Bethesda

Taste of Bethesda returns on Saturday, October 1, 2022 from 11am-4pm and will bring numerous downtown Bethesda restaurants and five stages of entertainment to Bethesda’s Woodmont Triangle.

Taste of Bethesda is located on Norfolk, St. Elmo, Cordell, Del Ray and Auburn Avenues in the heart of Bethesda’s Woodmont Triangle. Five stages showcase musical and cultural performances, and a children’s area featuring art and craft activities and balloons will provide additional entertainment for young visitors.

As downtown Bethesda continues to grow, several new restaurants will debut at Taste of Bethesda this year: Chaia Tacos, Chiko, Corella Café and Lounge, Hawkers, Oishii Ramen and Tea Bar, Paris in Town, Seventh State and Tacombi among others. Returning favorites such as Alatri Bros., Bethesda Curry Kitchen, Duck Duck Goose, Hanara Sushi, Momo Chicken + Grill, Medium Rare, Tout de Sweet and many more will also be in attendance this year. This year, attendees will also be able to enjoy beer and wine from participating Taste of Bethesda restaurants.

Admission to Taste of Bethesda is free. Tickets will be sold on-site to “taste” different foods, beer and wine; tickets are $5 for four tickets and a serving costs one to four tickets. The event is located three blocks from the Bethesda Metro station. Free parking is also available in downtown Bethesda’s public garages. The free Bethesda Circulator will transport visitors to and from the Bethesda Metro station and public garages.
