About Sunrise Rotary and Taste of the Town

     Taste of the Town is a Watertown Sunrise Rotary annual fundraiser that offers the public an opportunity to sample a variety of food and beverage items from dozens of local restaurants, caterers, wineries, and other food and beverage suppliers. Admission is $3 per person; children 5 and younger are free. Food and beverage sample tickets are $1 each; 12 for $10; or 25 tickets for $20.

     Each year more than 1,000 people attend this event to sample fine cuisine from locally owned and nationally franchised food establishments. The event also acts as a fundraiser for North Country nonprofits. Participating vendors provide a sample-sized portion of their establishment’s favorite appetizer, main dish, dessert, or beverage. Judging categories include a diverse selection of food and beverage honors.

     Proceeds from this family-fun event help provide funding for Watertown Sunrise Rotary and a North Country nonprofit organization that, through a competitive grant application, is awarded a Watertown Sunrise Rotary Foundation taste of the Town grant.

     Watertown Sunrise Rotary’s main objective is service to the community, in the workplace, and around the globe. Local projects funded and serviced by the club include playgrounds, park beautification, a summer camp for handicapped children, holiday parties for underprivileged children, support of local scholarships, and various nonprofit and community donations.
