The MWC’s Annual Taste of the Town fund raising event will be held Tuesday, July 17th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Shipyard Park.
Taste of the Town started in the early 2000’s as a fund raiser for the Mattapoisett Public Library Capital Campaign. For the next several years the Mattapoisett Woman’s Club along with the Mattapoisett Free Public Library continued this annual event. After that the MWC has continued it on it’s on as a principal fund raiser for our scholarships and donations to other non-profit agencies in the Greater New Bedford Community.
These exciting “Tastes” are held at Shipyard Park under the Lion’s Club Harbor Days tent on the Tuesday of Harbor Day’s week. They feature local dining establishments offering their signature dishes: lobster rolls, chowder, shrimp cocktail, delicious stone cold soup and more. Floral arrangements are made for each table and are available for a donation. Rousing entertainment has been by the Showstoppers for the past several years. The community looks forward to the “Taste” each year. It is an exciting and energetic event bringing hundreds of people together under the Lion’s tent. It is humming with activity, music and the lovely setting of tables along the shores of Mattapoisett Harbor.
