“The Taste” 2023

The Taste of the South Shore is a fun, festive social event that welcomes all to enjoy delicious tastings served by executive chefs from the South Shore’s top restaurants, along with amazing wine, local craft beer and cocktail tastings. Grab some friends and enjoy a night out sampling the South Shore’s best bites and drinks! The Taste includes a silent auction of amazing items and a raffle to win $50 gift certificates to local restaurants, food & beverage partners, and more! And it’s all to support kids programs and camps at the South Shore YMCA.

The Taste is the South Shore YMCA’s signature fundraiser and proceeds benefit “Y kids” and families, providing access and financial assistance for Y programs, membership, camps, and services to help kids thrive. Bringing laughter and fun to the fundraising is our master of ceremonies, Billy Costa of Kiss108 and Dining Playbook, who will help us to highlight the impact of your support and lead a live appeal.
