Our Story

Est. 1982. A Lafayette Tradition,
Presented by The Arts Federation

For 45 years, TASTE has been more than a festival; it’s been a Lafayette tradition, a community gathering, and a labor of love by The Arts Federation. Every third Saturday in June, the heart of downtown transforms into the largest street festival in Greater Lafayette, alive with the flavors of local restaurants, the sounds of live music, and the color of original art. Thousands of neighbors, visitors, and artists come together for one electric evening to celebrate what makes this community special. It’s a party with purpose – every ticket, every bite, every beat goes directly back to growing the arts across our region, keeping creativity alive and accessible for everyone.
