COMMUNITY COMMENTARY:

This is in response to several inquiries we have had since moving the Taste of Huntington Beach from the Hyatt Hotel to the Sports Complex.

We left the Hyatt simply because we had outgrown the ballroom. With more participants each year and larger attendance, moving the Taste was in the best interests of both the Hyatt and the Taste. It was with regret that we had to leave the Hyatt, but we are pleased with our new setting and attendance has continued to grow.

So if you haven’t tried the Taste at the Sports Complex — look for us next year — we’ll be there, under the tent on the grassy field, with the beautiful sun and a cool breeze. A perfect Huntington Beach day!

And remember the most important part — the Taste of Huntington Beach is a charity event for the Children’s Wing of the Huntington Beach library so no matter where it is, everyone who participates and attends is helping the children.
