Olympics come to ‘Taste’ 2024
•HopeNet benefit to take place Sept. 16
This year’s Taste of Larchmont will have an Olympics theme when it takes place on Mon., Sept. 16, from 6 to 9 p.m. on Larchmont Boulevard.
A BALLOON ARCH entryway greets patrons to the pavilions at last year’s Taste of Larchmont.
The 2024 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony takes place Fri., July 26, in Paris. With television coverage on NBC, the games will continue through Sun., Aug. 11.
On Larchmont, at the Sept. 16 HopeNet event, walkers will dine al fresco and meet old friends and neighbors and new ones at the annual benefit that helps fund 12 nearby food pantries.
Several local eateries will open their doors, and a live raffle will be featured at the 32nd annual event.
Participants check in at the city surface parking lot near the Rotary clock at 209 N. Larchmont Blvd. to pick up or buy tickets and receive a “passport” to participating eateries.
The printed passport will be your ticket to sample food from restaurants and sidewalk booths and to enjoy desserts and coffee offered under canopies at the parking lot.
HopeNet provides free, accessible and healthy food to anyone who wants or needs it, HopeNet Executive Director, and local resident, Roya Milder told us.
“We have not received any federal funding this year and are looking for additional sponsors to help support the event and HopeNet’s Food Pantry Program,” Milder said.
“Also, we are looking to add to the HopeNet Board so that we may continue our mission for many more years to come.”
Passports for the Taste of Larchmont are $50 each. Raffle tickets are $20 for five and $5 for one ticket. Passports usually sell out before the event. Get yours at hope-net.org.
