Taste Of Collier, a long-standing Naples tradition, is an afternoon of family fun featuring live music by area musicians, cooking demonstrations with local chefs, and of course, savory samples from some of the best local restaurants in Collier County!

Proceeds from The 34th Annual Taste Of Collier will benefit Meals of Hope. The Mission of Meals of Hope is “Communities coming together to end hunger!” Meals of Hope began as a food packing organization, and is the only food packing organization with a priority on keeping the food packed within the United States. You can learn more about them at www.MealsOfHope.org .

The Taste of Collier began in 1983 when a few local members of the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association decided to host an event that would express gratitude for the year round residents that patronize the local restaurants. The first event was very well received and the Taste of Collier Board members decided for the second year event they would partner with a local non-profit organization and donate a portion of funds raised, thus giving even more back to the Collier Community.

Over the past 33 years, many local charities have shared in the nearly $1,000,000 raised during the Taste of Collier events.

General Admission is $5 per person (Children under 10 are free) to enter the event - this includes access to our live entertainment, ice carving, cooking demonstrations, and much more!

To purchase food samples or beverages you'll need to purchase Food & Beverage Tickets - which are sold in sheets of 10 for $10, online or at the event. These tickets are the only accepted currency inside the event, with most samples priced between 1 and 7 tickets. 1 ticket = $1.
