First timers take on Taste of Rosefest
Taste of Rosefest was held at the Muriel Sahlin Arboretum at Central Park on June 25, 2026 | credit: You Me Food Review

We've seen it advertised for years, but had never attended. We imagined it was a ritzy-ditzy event with lots of alcohol and little food.  We assumed the price would not be a good value for us because we don’t drink.  We also guessed it was a fundraiser, but never looked into the organization that hosted it or benefited from the proceeds.  

This year, however, we were offered the opportunity to attend and see what Taste of Rosefest is all about. We went, and we had a fantastic time.  In fact, we loved it.  If you’ve heard of Taste of Rosefest but, like us, have never attended, we want to tell you why we think you might enjoy it, too.
