The 23rd Annual Taste of Jamaica Plain is Thursday, Nov. 15 from 6 to 9 pm. Join ESAC for the Annual Taste of JP fundraising event. Enjoy delicious food from a wide variety of neighborhood restaurants, live music and a silent auction--fun for the whole family! Your ticket purchase gets you free food samples from over 20 partner restaurants, live music and wonderful company.
Blue Nile, Chilacates, Café Beirut, FoMu, The Frogmore and Tres Gatos are just some of the participating businesses in the 23rd Annual Taste of Jamaica Plain on Nov. 15. This year's Taste of Jamaica Plain has a new location at Our Lady of Annunciation Church on the West Roxbury and Jamaica Plain border. In recent years the Taste of JP has been held at the Franklin Park Zoo. While the event is moving inside this year, it will still benefit a good neighborhood organization, Ecumenical Social Action Committee (ESAC), its senior home programs and youth opportunity collaborative.
The 22nd Annual Taste of Jamaica Plain was a great success - the only downfall is that we were not able to do the auction. There's no way that we can predict the weather, what we can do is warn you... that you will have a fabulous time at our Silent Auction with over 40 auction items! Please come join us to bid or to enjoy community, refreshments, and a glass of wine. You can see our auction items on biddingforgood.com under "ESAC Rain Date Auction."
The 22nd Taste of JP was a great success on September 14th with more than 20 restaurants serving up delicious morsels -- but down came the rain and washed the silent auction out. So on Thursday the silent auction and a reception will be held. There are more than 40 items up for auction, including gift certificates to local restaurants, memberships and admission to museums and cultural attractions and more. Click here to see the items up for auction.
The rain date silent auction is on Thursday, Oct. 5th from 5 to 8 pm at Arborview Realty (709 Centre St.).
Enjoy the culinary delights of more than 20 local best restaurants while supporting a great cause at the 22nd Taste of Jamaica Plain Thursday, Sept. 14. Oh, don't forget that you'll have opportunities to have encounters with wild animals! "This will be the third year the Taste [of Jamaica Plain] will be held at the Franklin Park Zoo, a unique location that appeals to all ages!" said Emily Morris Litonjua, executive director of Ensuring Stability through Action in our Community (ESAC).
