The Taste Walkabout
Downtown Fort Collins will be hopping with some of the city’s most renowned restaurants serving up special appetizers for hundreds of folks during The Taste Walkabout.
This self-guided, food-sampling tour takes you through the heart of the Choice City. It’s a culinary adventure like no other, and all proceeds directly benefit the Food Bank’s hunger-relief efforts in Larimer County.
We’re so grateful to our amazing restaurant partners. Take a look at who is participating and check out a sneak peek of our menu.
