Food has always been able to bring people together. When we celebrate a holiday, food is always involved and even catered to match the holiday’s theme. Whenever we celebrate a person’s accomplishments, food is always part of the celebration. Why does food bring people together? Food is necessary to survive, it makes us happy and trying and eating different types of foods and flavors are like an adventure for us. Being able to try new recipes, whether good or bad, is satisfying and something we can all enjoy.

If you love food as much as we do, then come out to the 2016 Taste of Summer in Downtown McHenry on Sunday, June 12. From 1 to 4:30 p.m., join all of McHenry and surrounding communities as everyone gathers to taste a variety of delicious foods from participating downtown food and beverage establishments. You’ll be able to try all sorts of food such as pizzas, sliders, sandwiches, breakfast, beers, cupcakes and so much more! In addition to the food, downtown businesses and local shops will be offering specials and discounts just for this event.

The cost per taste will range from $1 to $3 at the local establishments. A shuttle will also be provided by Elite Minibus that will make various stops throughout Downtown McHenry.

So grab your friends and family and come out to this fun and tasteful event! To stay updated with news about the 2016 Taste of Summer and to see all the restaurants, shops and businesses participating, visit the event’s Facebook page.
