If you love trying different foods from around the World, you’ll want to plan a trip to Lancaster next month. Every second Friday since May, the city has been holding special Taste the World events that allow participants to try cuisine from many different countries. Local restaurants prepare a special dish for each event, and guests travel from one location to the next, sampling some of what each place has to offer. Every month the theme of Taste the World changes, allowing repeat guests to enjoy a new and different dining experience.

Seafood September

This month’s Taste the World event is, unfortunately, sold out. September’s theme is “seafood.” Because of the popularity of these events, you should plan to buy your tickets online, in advance. Those who’d like to attend are advised to purchase tickets online in advance.

Arrive at 24 East King Street in Lancaster anytime between 4:45 and 6:30 to kick of your tasting tour. Some of the cuisine being featured at the September event comes from countries like Greece, Vietnam, Italy, and Cambodia. Each restaurant taking part in the experience will feature food from one specific part of the world. If you’d like the chance to sample everything on offer, it’s recommended that you plan on taking at least ninety minutes for the tour. (Things wrap up at 8 PM, so you’ll have plenty of time for a stop at each location). Guest should be aware that due to time constraints, Taste the World is not a strictly sit down event. You can enjoy your food while standing in each restaurant, or you’ll be able to eat on the go as you head to your next stop on the tour.

Future Taste the World Events

If seafood just isn’t your thing, or if you’d like to get a jump-start on future Taste the World events, check back for the October Taste the World to enjoy a wide range of finger foods from around the world, or visit in November to try a delicious assortment of different soups, just in time for the cooler fall weather. No matter which event you decide to attend, remember that Taste the World is completely family friendly. You’re encouraged to bring the kids along to share in this unique experience with you.

If you’re attending the event from out of town, there are some great accommodation options available throughout the area. Two of the best places to stay in Lancaster County are the Sleep Inn and the MainStay Suites. Both of these properties offer excellent accommodation at affordable rates.
