Taste Addison has developed a world-class reputation as the region’s first food and music festival. Now, as it celebrates its 30th anniversary, Taste Addison has become so much more. The three-day festival captivates all five senses and offers something for everyone with a variety of eats, beats and artistic treats!
For the first time, Taste Addison 2025 is scheduled to take place during the cooler part of the year, Friday, April 25 through Sunday, April 27, in Addison Circle Park. Tickets go on sale March 12 at 10 a.m.
The core of Taste Addison is its celebration of the culinary arts, and it’s no secret why! With more than 200 restaurants, Addison boasts the highest number of restaurants per capita in the United States. Many of those restaurants will be sharing their tastiest eats at this year’s festival. Guests can enjoy Taste Bites in the Chow Hall, a variety of delicious sweet and savory offerings at The Tasty Truck Stop, global cuisine on WorldEats Street, and several pop-up experiences throughout the park.
Pair your favorite bites with beverages from the corkyard, beer lawn, speakeasy, and the new zero-proof bar. Sunday brunch also makes a comeback in the Speakeasy this year.
The beats lineup is just as strong as the eats at Taste Addison. The event has six entertainment areas throughout the 12-acre Addison Circle Park – world-class headliners on the Main Stage, dynamic performances on the WorldBeats stage, soloists and duos at the Speakeasy and Corkyard, buskers at the Blue Dot Spot, and a special show in the Addison Performing Arts Centre.
Art connoisseurs can visit the Sip & Stroll Art Walk featuring dozens of juried creators and pop-up wine bars. The nearby Shoppers Row will feature unique goods for sale by some of the region’s best artisans and merchants.
Guests of all ages can celebrate the return of the Taste Addison Carnival with fun games and rides. Kids will also love the Bite Sized Backyard filled with creative hands-on activities.
General admission tickets start at $10 for adults, $5 ages 6-12, free for ages 5 and under. VIP tickets will also be available for advance purchase.
