Events for December 15, 2025

The Taste of Madison will be back this September 27 at Rivergate Mall! To take into consideration the multiple issues facing our restaurants (food inflation, staffing, etc.), this year will be a Chili Cookoff! There will be three divisions: Professional (chefs, caterers, restaurants), Business (non-culinary businesses or non-profits), and Community Open (neighborhood groups, individuals). We will once again be pairing the event with Touch-a-Truck, invite businesses who do not wish to enter the Chili Cookoff the opportunity to set up a table, and enjoy live music. Registration forms will be available very soon!
