Are you a self-proclaimed foodie? Do you love supporting local businesses?
Then you’re in the right place! Our 2nd annual Taste of Green Fundraiser is just around the corner and you won’t want to miss it! Join us Thursday, October 26th and enjoy a night full of good eats and local brews from 16 GDA-certified restaurants! Ticket prices are $45. Green Dining Club members and a Friend of Earth Day members get discounted tickets for just $25!
50/50 raffle tickets and cheerful diners from last year’s Taste of Green
The event will take place at GDA-certified Baileys’ Restaurants‘ downtown event space, Willow, at 10th and Locust. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction for items donated by local organizations and our generous sponsors. Bonus? Door prizes will be awarded every half hour from beginning to end!
All ticket sales support our program in addition to St. Louis Earth Day’s other year-round programs, like Recycling on the Go. Still not sold? Read below to see what our GDA-certified restaurants will be serving up at the Fundraiser, and then purchase your tickets here. There is something for everyone this year, with lots of vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore options – along with a variety of beer from local brewers at our open bar!
Kakao serves up tasty, homemade chocolates and candies.
GDA-certified member restaurants never use styrofoam, they recycle, they phase in energy efficient lights, and they set goals to reduce their environmental impact! Support their efforts by eating delicious food, drinking beer, and mingling with St. Louis’s most sustainably-minded people!
Musicians serenade attendees as they sort recycling, compost, and landfill from last year’s Taste of Green.
