2023 Taste of Carlsbad Village

Things to Do in Carlsbad Village

The 6th Annual Taste of Carlsbad Village returns to the Village on October 12th.

UPDATED – BUT AS OF 9/5 TICKETS ARE ALREADY SOLD OUT.

First, the Taste of Carlsbad Village is historically very popular, selling out quickly each year. Second, tickets go on sale September 4 at 9 am so you will want to put that on your calendar.

Carlsbad food lovers will spend 3 hours on a self-guided tour with map and Passport (the ticket), tasting their way around charming Carlsbad Village. You’ll receive a reusable stainless steel “spork” (and sip cup for those with Sip Stop tickets).

What’s the appeal? The opportunity to enjoy bite-sized samples from dozens of local popular restaurants.

Food Only tickets are $45; Food Plus Adult Sip Stop tickets are $60. There are VIP Experience tickets at $100 (only 100). A total of 1000 tickets will be sold.

Adult Sip Stops around the Village will offer tastings of craft beer, wine, kombucha and more (21 and over).

The #TasteOfCarlsbadVillage sells out each year, and likely will again in 2023. You don’t want to miss this terrific food lovers event!
