Save the Date: 2016 Taste of Downtown Carson City will be July 23
Organizers behind Taste of Downtown Carson City, a benefit for Advocates to End Domestic Violence, have made the official date official: Mark your calendars for July 23, 2016 for the 23rd annual Taste of Downtown.
The popular community event stretches between 13 downtown blocks of historic Carson City, from Telegraph Square to Tenth Street. A mix of restaurants serving out of their own downtown sites as well as restaurants from outside the downtown area will be serving their faire from locations set-up on the streets with live bands scattered in between. Nowhere else can you find such a great collection of culinary delights from some of the area's best restaurants. Downtown shops and galleries will be open and offering raffles as well as showcasing their merchandise.
Normally held in June, Advocates to End Domestic Violence announced in October 2015 that the organization was forced to move the Taste to July 23, resulting in a shortfall for 2015/2016 fiscal year of desperately needed Taste revenue.
Formed in 1979, Advocates to End Domestic Violence is a private, not-for-profit organization. Its mission is to provide a safe, supportive environment where domestic violence victims can re-examine their view of themselves and work towards a violence free future.
"We were formed in 1979 by two formerly battered women who saw a need for a domestic violence program in Carson City, Nevada," according to the Advocates' website. "We have grown from a small two-bedroom apartment, to a full service program that operates a 51-bed shelter and provides a wide variety of services designed to protect and support battered women and their children in the community."
Advocates to End Domestic Violence rely on fundraisers, grants, Classy Seconds thrift store, and community support to fund its programs and services for victims of family violence and sexual assault. The Taste of Downtown, is the organizations biggest annual fundraiser.
