Sample delicious bites and libations

Local restaurants and businesses offer samples of delicious bites and libations — including craft beer and artisan wines — to ticketed patrons. Proceeds of the event will support the Montclair Village Association, a nonprofit and business improvement district serving the community for over 75 years.

Attendees will receive a Passport of well over 30 participating businesses offering delicious food from Montclair chefs and beverage samples from local craft producers. Visitors can experience family-friendly entertainment (crafts, balloon animals, face painting) and live music while enjoying their tastings at communal, table-style seating (Picnic on the Plaza).

Strolling patrons will also discover merchant-hosted activities such as discount promotions, giveaways, and an opportunity to meet the business owners and staff. In addition to connecting with neighborhood residents and businesses, local leaders and representatives of the Montclair Village Association will be onsite to greet attendees.
