Family-Friendly Evening Welcomes Community for Local Food, Culture and Art
SOUTH FULTON, Ga. – (June 1, 2023) – The City of South Fulton Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) today announced its participation as the event sponsor in the upcoming “Taste of SoFu,” a community-driven experience designed to offer a fun, family-friendly snapshot of the area’s local culture and cuisine. “Taste of SoFu” will take place Friday, June 2, 2023, at the Southwest Art Center, hosted by Michelle Taylor Willis and Ringmaster Casual Cal.
“Taste of SoFu” is exactly the event that communities need,” said Kathryn Earley, tourism manager for the City of South Fulton CVB. “We’re happy to support this event! It’s a great way to highlight amazing locally-owned restaurants, unique artistic experiences, and live entertainment options that make our community such a great place to live.”
The event runs from 6 – 10 p.m. on June 2, with local art for sale, a kids’ zone, vendors, games with prizes and more. The “City Taste Off” will serve as the event’s main attraction with a competition of pre-registered participants’ signature dishes being judged by a celebrity panel for the chance to take home the grand prize.
The “Taste of SoFu” was founded by Shelia Mants, owner of Added Pizzazz Events. According to Mants, after attending a community event, she became inspired to create an experience in her own community. “Taste of SoFu” is a celebration of all art forms and will provide a space for members of the community to showcase their offerings.
