About the Event
Taste of Columbus is an annual community event hosted by the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce that brings together local restaurants, food and beverage vendors, businesses, and community members for an evening of food and drink tastings, entertainment, and fundraising. A highlight of the event is the live and silent auctions, featuring a variety of packages, experiences, products, and services generously donated by businesses and organizations.
Each year, the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce partners with a local nonprofit organization and shares the proceeds raised through Taste of Columbus. For 2026, our nonprofit partner is the Platte County Fair Foundation, with funds helping support updates and renovations at Ag Park in Columbus. These improvements will help enhance a facility that serves the Platte County Fair and hosts numerous community events and activities throughout the year.
