“The Taste of Downtown Glendale has become a much anticipated annual event which brings our community together for such a great cause,” said Peter Weir, board chair of Glendale Arts, in a statement.
Glendale Arts, which oversees the Alex Theatre, is partnering with Glendale Healthy Kids on the event.
Through Tuesday, presale tickets are $30 for adults with food only, $40 for adults for food and wine, $15 for children 6 to 9 years old and free for children 5 years old and younger.
On the day of the event, adult ticket prices go up $5.
