A wristband and a map with the location of each participating business and restaurant will be included. Everyone must show his or her wristband in order to sample food.

The Wells Fargo Advisors Taste of Downtown will feature a variety of live music and entertainment. DJ Randy will play a selection of favorite tunes on the courthouse steps. Brandy Harvey will be performing on the porch of City Hall. Music lovers can find Jackson Canady at Vandy’s BBQ, as well as Juliette Muldrew on the porch of Ag South and Carlos Carvajal, violinist, by Charlies Funky Junk.

The after party will begin at 8 p.m. with Dylan Bragg and Miles Willis at Eagle Creek Brewing Co.
