2nd Annual Taste of Downtown Hayward

Following the overwhelming success of its inaugural event, the Downtown Hayward Improvement Association is bringing back the Second Annual Taste of Hayward on Thursday, October 22, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Guests will once again enjoy a self-guided tasting tour through Downtown Hayward, sampling bites and beverages from a growing lineup of local restaurants and eateries.

At check-in, attendees will receive a Taste Passport, serving as their guide to participating tasting locations and allowing them to keep track of their favorite bites and sips throughout the evening. With more tickets available this year, organizers are encouraging attendees to purchase tickets as soon as possible.

Tickets are $35 plus a service fee and include access to all participating tasting locations. All ages are welcome, and IDs will be required at stops serving alcohol.

Whether you’re a longtime Hayward resident or visiting Downtown for the first time, the Second Annual Taste of Hayward is an opportunity to eat, explore, and experience the community in a whole new way.
