Celebrating Community and Cuisine at the 16th Annual Taste of Long Beach

The 16th Annual Taste of Long Beach is set to return on Thursday, September 25, 2025, bringing an evening of flavor, community, and celebration to the Long Beach Activity & Senior Center. From 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., guests will enjoy an unforgettable culinary experience, featuring standout dishes and craft beverages prepared by some of Long Beach’s most talented chefs and beverage vendors.

Last year, the event drew nearly 500 attendees from across the Mississippi Gulf Coast. This year’s celebration is expected to be even larger, offering a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for both locals and visitors. As always, the event supports a greater purpose—proceeds help fund key initiatives led by the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce, including small business grants, student scholarships, and local programs focused on community development and economic opportunity.

The Chamber is now welcoming sponsors for this year’s event. Sponsorship provides more than just visibility—it’s a direct investment in the future of Long Beach. Participating businesses will be featured throughout event promotions, signage, and social media, with recognition also provided on-site during the event. Sponsorship packages are designed to provide meaningful opportunities to engage with the community, entertain clients, reward employees, and connect with local leaders—all while reinforcing your brand’s commitment to the city.

Sponsorships are now available, and early commitment is encouraged to take full advantage of the promotional benefits. In addition, general admission tickets will go on sale Friday, July 25, at 10:00 a.m., with a sell-out crowd anticipated once again.

Taste of Long Beach continues to grow each year, serving as both a showcase of culinary excellence and a celebration of community spirit. Join us in making this year’s event the best yet—one taste at a time.
