Fall is in the air and that means the Annual Taste of Arlington is just around the corner. This year the event celebrates its 30th anniversary on October 23, from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Arlington Convention Center. It's the city's biggest all-you-can eat sampling of the best restaurants and beverages in town. The Arlington Convention Center is located 1200 Ballpark Way.

Taste of Arlington, which showcases restaurants from all over the city, is considered one of the best food festivals in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. This special evening features a silent auction, Big Board auction and sponsor displays, all surrounded by Arlington's distinctive, unique restaurants. The theme is "Start Spreading the News…Taste of Arlington is 30!'

The evening also includes live music by The Jet Poets and dancing.

Tickets are $40 in advance or $45 at the door, and may be purchased by visiting tasteofarlington.info. Proceeds from Taste of Arlington will help benefit the youth programs at Theatre Arlington and YMCA of Arlington.
