At the heart of the Gifts That Give Hope Alternative Gift Fair is a simple mission: bringing people together to make a difference. Every year, our fair connects neighbors who are passionate about supporting nonprofits, shopping with purpose, and investing in the organizations and small businesses that strengthen our community. And if there’s one thing that has the power to bring people together just as much as giving back, it’s food.
That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce a brand new experience at this year’s fair: the Taste of the Town Food Tour!
Designed to complement your day at the fair, the Taste of the Town Food Tour is a self-guided culinary adventure featuring some of Lancaster County’s favorite food and beverage vendors all gathered in one place. Instead of choosing just one meal, you’ll have the opportunity to sample signature bites from multiple vendors, giving you a true taste of the incredible local food scene.
Your Food Tour Passport serves as your guide, taking you from vendor to vendor where you’ll redeem a featured item at each stop. Whether you’re visiting longtime local favorites or discovering a new hidden gem, the tour is all about exploring, supporting local businesses, and sharing the experience with family and friends.
As an added bonus, Food Tour participants will also receive exclusive offers from other local businesses to enjoy throughout the weekend of the fair, extending the experience beyond the event itself and shining a spotlight on even more members of our vibrant local community.
Food Tour Passports are available at https://giftsthatgivehopelancaster.org/products/food-tour for $25 in advance or $28 the day of the event (while supplies last). Your Taste of the Town Food Tour Passport includes a featured item from each of these incredible vendors:
- Traveling J’s
- Chuckwagon Grille
- Hello Mango Asian Bakery
- Olivet Matcha
- Lancaster Soft Pretzel
- Halo’s Eatery
- Character Coffee Cart
- Lancaster Stroopie Co.
Whether you’re a dedicated foodie, looking for a fun activity with friends, or simply want to make the most of your visit to the Alternative Gift Fair, the Taste of the Town Food Tour offers a delicious new way to experience everything the event has to offer. We can’t wait to share this exciting new tradition with you at this year’s Alternative Gift Fair!
