Did you catch us on Live in the D yesterday?! 👀🍴

Slows Bar Bq Ann Arbor joined us to give a sneak peek of the bites they’ll be showcasing this weekend at Taste of Ann Arbor.

We even had the chance to share an exciting new addition to this year’s event — reusable serviceware, sponsored by A²Zero ♻️ This year, we’re reducing waste by removing 24,000 pieces of single-use products from the landfill.

Great food, local restaurants, live entertainment, and a more sustainable event experience? We’ll call that a win-win. 🙌

Watch the full clip with the link below and join us downtown this Sunday for a taste of all things Ann Arbor! 🍽️

It takes a lot of helping hands to bring TASTE of Ann Arbor to life, and we’d love to have you be part of it. 🍴✨

We’re looking for volunteers to help with everything from setup and check-in to ticket sales throughout the day. Whether you can help for one shift or more, your support helps make this downtown favorite happen.

📍 Sunday, May 31
📍 Downtown Ann Arbor on Main Street

And yes, there’s a tasty perk involved. Volunteers receive 12 TASTE tickets for every shift worked, so you can enjoy bites from participating downtown restaurants while you’re there. 😋
