taste of pikes peak

Now in its 29th year, Taste of Pikes Peak continues its tradition of bringing together the very best of the local food and beverage scene for one unforgettable evening. Set in our new home at Hillside Gardens and Event Center, this year’s event offers a fresh backdrop to experience the flavors, talent, and creativity that define the Pikes Peak region.

More than just a tasting event, Taste of Pikes Peak is a celebration of community, where local restaurants, breweries, distilleries, coffee shops, and beverage partners come together to showcase what makes our culinary scene so vibrant and unique.

As the largest food event in Southern Colorado, with attendees traveling from Pueblo to Denver and beyond, Taste of Pikes Peak serves as a proud ambassador for our region’s hospitality industry. And while the food and drink are exceptional, the impact goes even further.

This event is the primary fundraiser for the Pikes Peak Chapter of the Colorado Restaurant Association, supporting programs like the Colorado Restaurant Foundation and ProStart initiatives in local high schools. These efforts help cultivate the next generation of culinary and hospitality professionals while strengthening our industry at every level.

When you attend, you’re not just enjoying an incredible night of local flavor—you’re supporting the people, businesses, and future of the Pikes Peak culinary community.
