The highly anticipated Taste of Summer event is back at the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium for three total events featuring vendors and musicians from around Dubuque. Guests are invited to come after-hours in the boatyard and plaza. Visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets to use, and a limited number of picnic tables will be available.

The event will occur on the first Thursday of the month – June 1, July 6, and August 3. Food and beverages will be available beginning at 5 PM, as well as live music running from 5 PM – 10 PM. Ample parking will be available in the public lot outside of the River Museum.

Taste of summer is open to all ages and free to attend. At each event, food vendors will compete for the “Best Vendor’ prize, voted on by attendees. Beverage sales and freewill donations will go to supporting the River Museum’s conservation efforts to save endangered species.

Taste of Summer is sponsored by Townsquare Media, Iowa Beverage, and Modern Piping Mechanical Contractors.
