Taste of Gulf Breeze 2026

Taste of Gulf Breeze is an exciting, competitive, culinary adventure! Sample all that the Gulf Breeze Area has to offer! Taste of Gulf Breeze, or "Taste" as we like to call it, is an annual food festival hosted by the Gulf Breeze Area Chamber of Commerce. At Taste, you'll have the opportunity to sample from local restaurants, bars, caterers, bakeries, food trucks, and businesses! Our event features 50+ unique vendors handing out bite-sized samples of their menus and products for your party to try. In addition to more food than is probably healthy to eat in one evening, you can enjoy dancing to tunes from a live DJ plus special live performances! This event is 21+ only with 100% I.D. check at the door. General Admission begins at 6 pm and the party lasts until 9! YOU get to choose who wins the Golden Spatula Awards! Each vendor will be competing for the coveted Golden Spatula Awards! After you sample from each booth, vote for your favorite appetizer, beverage, snack, and dessert! You'll receive 4 color-coded chips upon check-in to place your votes on who you think should win. Two Ticket Options Available VIP EXPERIENCE A limited number of VIP tickets will be sold.
