Taste of the Lakes continues its tradition of showcasing the region's vibrant culinary scene in a lively, social setting. Guests will sample a wide variety of chef-prepared dishes alongside wine, beer, and spirits, mingle with fellow food lovers, and celebrate the impact of local philanthropy.

"The Taste of the Lakes is one of the most anticipated events of the year," said Shane Riffle, Chief Executive Officer of the Brainerd Family YMCA. "It's a celebration of our local culinary talent and a powerful way to support youth mentoring at the Y. The generosity of our chefs, sponsors, and guests helps ensure that young people in our community have access to positive role models and meaningful opportunities."
