Jul 22, 2019 | 2:30 PM

CentreFest is teaming up with the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation’s to bring some new flavour to a popular event.

Taste of Red Deer is now a part of CentreFest and will bring delicious food tastings to the already popular event this Friday, July 26 from 6-9 p.m.

Officials say the partnership between the two organizations seemed a natural fit, both set on bringing young and old alike to Red Deer’s downtown core for unique entertainment, delicious food, and family fun!

“Taste of Red Deer has been a staple at Festival of Trees for years, and we decided to recreate it in the summertime,” shared Manon Therriault, CEO for the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. “It just makes sense that two non-profit organizations would work together for the betterment of our community. We are very proud to have CentreFest as a partner.”

Taste of Red Deer will feature up to 30 Central Alberta restaurants, each sampling some of their best menu items. Guests will purchase food vouchers to spend on whatever tantalizes their taste buds. Proceeds from the Taste of Red Deer event will go directly to purchasing equipment for the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.

“Our goal is to create an exciting family experience for Central Albertans, and our partners at Taste of Red Deer will add a new dimension to CentreFest that increases the excitement our event already creates,” explained Jan Penney, CentreFest Board Chair.

A full slate of CentreFest performers will be on hand Friday night to provide unique & fun-filled entertainment while guests sample an array of food items from local vendors.
