Food & Beverage Partners
You are what makes it the “Taste” of the Bay!
Taste of the Bay food and beverage tasting festival was so much fun and well attended, we are hosting it again. This event with live music, silent and live auction, and bites and sips from local restaurants and breweries will be held on May 17, 2025 in the St. Lawrence Martyr courtyard in Redondo Beach. We are anticipating even more enthusiasm from the community with at least 300 in attendance.
In order to ensure the success of this fundraiser, we are asking local eateries and breweries to participate by providing appetizer food and/or beverage samples to be enjoyed during the event. All donors will be recognized in print and digital media, including event signage and programs. In addition, you will be getting your product out to over 500 attendees, who will in-turn patronize your business.
We are so grateful for your partnership and support. Consider a sponsorship, today!
