Tomorrow is the annual Taste of Georgetown street festival. It will again take place on Wisconsin Ave. between K and the canal. And as always, the beneficiary of the event will be the valuable Georgetown Ministries, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

The event will go from 11 AM to 4 pm. For $5, you get one ticket to sample some food. $20 buys you five tickets. There will be a beer garden again this year, offering craft beer and fine wines.

If you drop enough money (for a good cause!) you may walk away finally figuring out what Georgetown tastes like.

Or you can look at GM’s chart:

But you should do both.

This weekend the BID hosts one of its most popular annual events: the Taste of Georgetown. The even will be this Saturday from 11 AM to 4 PM. Wisconsin Ave. will be blocked off south of M down to K St. for the event.

As always, dozens of Georgetown restaurants will be on hand to offer samples of their goods to ticket-holding visitors. The proceeds of the event go to benefit Georgetown Ministry Center, a homelessness service provider based out of Grace Episcopal. Last year the BID raised $38,000 for the center.

One new feature of this year’s event that jumps out at GM is the new Wine, Ales & Spirits tasting pavilion, sponsored by the Citypaper. Beers including Shiner Bock, New Belgium, and Anchor brewery will be on tap.  Yum.
