DAVIS COUNTY — The Davis Chamber of Commerce will introduce Davis County diners to the best local food with not one, but two Taste of the Town events this summer.

North Davis residents have enjoyed low cost samples from popular restaurants at the annual Taste of the Town activity in Layton for the past 11 years.

Based on the popularity of that event, the Chamber is introducing the southern half of Davis County to ample samples of dream cuisine at the first ever Taste of the Town South.

North Event

On Friday, July 24, the Chamber will celebrate the 12th anniversary of Taste of the Town in Layton.

The popular annual event will be held at Layton Commons Park and runs from 4-7 p.m.

This year, organizers expect 2,100 attendees. The activity will feature a live local band in the heart of the park. Following the tasting event, Layton City will sponsor a free concert at the adjacent Ed Kenley Amphitheater.

“Riders in the Sky” will take to the stage at 8 p.m. The public is invited to celebrate 12 years of Taste of the Town by coming to the Layton Commons Park to mingle with friends, listen to music and enjoy a great variety of food choices.

South Event

The First Annual Taste of the Town South will be held Wednesday, Aug. 5, from 6-9 p.m. on Main Street in Bountiful in conjunction with the Summerfest International Street Dance.

The Bountiful Davis Arts Center sponsors Summerfest each year during the first weekend in August.

The festival brings musicians and dancers from several nations to Bountiful for three days of food, fun and festive dances.

This year, the traditional kick-off Street Dance will also feature booths from the best restaurants from Farmington to North Salt Lake. They will sell samples of their favorite dishes from street-side as guests dance with the festival’s international visitors. Many of the featured restaurants will have international cuisine to complement the global performances.

Experience international food and flare at Taste of the Town South and the Summerfest Street Dance.



Ticket Info

Tickets will be available on site at both the Layton and the Bountiful events for $1 each or in groups of 10 tickets for $8. Each restaurant will feature dishes, snacks, and beverages that will range from one to four tickets.

Note: this ticketing method is revised from previous Taste of the Town events.

The Davis Chamber welcomes the public to attend both Taste of the Town events, as well as the concert and dances associated with them.
