I am so excited to announce this event that I will be attending. Music Taste Good 2017 is held in Long Beach, California. This events combines Music + Food all in one place. The event will be held from September 30 – October 1. I hope to see you there.
If you’re going to throw a music and food festival and call it Music Tastes Good, you better have some stellar, world-class grub to match up with an epic musical lineup that features Ween and Sleater-Kinney and many more.
Well, Music Tastes Good organizers have done just that, with an amplified focus on the festival’s culinary program in 2017. This year’s “Taste Tent” will assemble some of the best chefs from around the country, for what organizers have described as a “Port-to-Port” experience, a cultural exchange of flavors and ideas between Long Beach, New Orleans, and their surrounding communities.
