This year, with our Virtual event, we will be introducing a Passport event where we will have up to 12 different local food and drinks vendors showing off their skills for our Taste Passport participants.
6:30 - 7:30 pm | Live on YouTube

For the love of local food & drink.
The Virtual Taste Event
The Taste is an evening dedicated to bringing people together to celebrate local food, drink, and relationships while helping Montana Food Bank Network raise $70,000 for Montana’s families. Due to COVID-19, The Taste 2021 event will be virtual. Our virtual event will showcase food, friends, and fun. To help support locally owned businesses, we will be introducing a Passport event, which will take place from Feb. 22, 2021, until Mar. 5, 2021. This will allow our guests to go out and taste the different items our vendors have to offer. For the event’s entertainment, we will be putting on a cooking competition called The Taste Presents | Chefs Against Hunger, where 3 local Chefs will compete to elevate shelf-stable food. Our Silent Auction and Spoon Pull raffle are still going to be part of The Taste.
The Silent Auction is now OPEN. You are free to start bidding now! Go to the Browse Items tab and Click “All Items”!
