Enjoy Good Eats, Great Drinks & More at Taste Addison

With more than 200 restaurants, Addison has the most eateries per capita than just about anywhere in the country. Although you can experience it at any time of the year, you hardcore foodies out there will not want to miss Taste Addison. Held the weekend following Memorial Day, this medal-winning event from DFW People's Choice Award for Best Food & Drink Festival delivers the goods in a big way. Stroll among the booths at Addison Circle Park, stopping along the way to sample something that catches your eye. What will you see? In addition to full-size items, every vendor offers a Taste Bite, which is a smaller portion at a lower price point, so you can try an array of dishes before you get your fill.

All the delicious globe-spanning treats are the star of the show, but there's far more to savor while you're here. Head on over to The Garden for complimentary wine tastings (while supplies last), while The Grove is the place to sip on a cocktail and catch various live performers on the Bowl Stage. Speaking of performers, Taste Addison has two stages where nationally renowned artists and local performers do their thing. If you have your kids with you, make your way to the Family Fun Lawn. Here your youngsters can get creative with free craft activities and connect with nature at the petting zoo.

Experience Addison Oktoberfest

Steins filled to the brim with amber-colored beer, the aromas of roasting pretzels, and the upbeat sounds of polka music are at the core of this exciting festival.

Since 1987, this four-day celebration of German culture has all the brews, food, and traditional entertainment you could ask for. Enjoy polka bands and delicious food and drink in the Kleinhalle or catch a football game on the big screen in the Draught Haus Biergarten. Show off your best dance moves on the Partyhalle Deck and sip on German beers in the Paulaner Biergarten. Beyond admiring the talents of dozens of performers from around the country, you won't want to miss out on trying your hand at any of the bier games, rooting for your favorite pooch in the Dachshund Dash, and letting your kids play in the Kinderzelt.
