Taste of Arlington

Taste of Arlington® is an annual event that transforms the Ballston area into a lively street festival, complete with local entertainment, lively sponsors, children's activities, and lots of noteworthy restaurants. Over 40 restaurants participate in this spectacular community event, which draws an average of 15,000 people each year who live in the greater Washington, D.C. area.

This year, the event will expand its footprint by providing a deeper flavor of Arlington, showcasing the county's urban villages such as Ballston, Clarendon-Courthouse, Columbia Pike, Rosslyn and Crystal City.

The Ballston Partnership is the host and owner of the event and is organizing it in partnership with the Clarendon Alliance, Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization, Rosslyn Renaissance and Crystal City BID.

The event will take place Sunday May 16th, rain or shine, from noon to 5 p.m. on Wilson Boulevard near Ballston Commons Mall. Parking is available at the Ballston Public Parking Garage for $1/day and the event is also located on the Metro Ballston-MU station (Orange Line).

There are no age restrictions for entry but you must be 21 to purchase or consume alcohol. Pets are also welcome but please do not bring food or beverages to the Taste of Arlington as per Health Code stipulations.

There is no admissions fee for the event but tickets need to be purchased to sample food and beverages. Tickets can be purchased here at a reduced price or at the event.
