Our Story
Taste DMV was founded with one goal: to celebrate the incredible diversity of the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia region through food, music, culture, and community.
Since our first festival, we’ve grown into a multicultural celebration that brings together local restaurants, chefs, artists, performers, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and small businesses from across the DMV. Each year we continue to expand, creating new experiences that reflect the people and cultures that make our region unique.
Our Mission
