Fall means Taste of Fairmount & Halloween!
We’ve just announced our first participating restaurants for Taste of Fairmount 2026! You can also review last-year’s award-winners, and your limited chance to buy tickets - these won’t last long! Proceeds benefit our Small Business Fund, helping our local businesses grow.
