Taste of Orange Brings Food, Drinks, and Community Together in Old Towne

One of Orange’s most anticipated food events returns as Taste of Orange takes over the Plaza, bringing together top local restaurants, breweries, and the community for an afternoon of sampling and celebration.

Hosted by the Orange Blossoms Auxiliary of the Assistance League of Orange, the event features unlimited tastings from a wide range of local eateries, along with beer and wine, live music, and opportunity drawings. It’s a chance for residents to experience the best of Orange’s food scene all in one place while supporting programs that benefit local children and families. 

This year’s event is part of a larger weekend celebration in Old Towne, adding even more energy to the Plaza as visitors walk, taste, and explore the historic district. With dozens of participating vendors, it’s both a food festival and a community gathering that highlights everything that makes Orange unique.

For locals, it’s more than just a tasting event — it’s a way to support local businesses, connect with neighbors, and enjoy one of the city’s signature traditions.

Taste of Orange takes place Saturday, May 2, 2026 from 3 PM to 7 PM at the Old Towne Orange Plaza, located at the intersection of Chapman Ave and Glassell St in Orange.
