The Taste fundraiser for the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay will be held from 6 to 8 p.m., September 5, 2024, at the Railroad House. This celebration includes live music, locally inspired eats, awards, silent auctions and comradery. As the largest annual fundraiser, The Taste brings together corporations and conservationists within three distinct Chesapeake Bay watershed communities to support this critical work and enjoy an evening with other individuals that want to make a difference in the watershed.

More than 100,000 streams and rivers flow through 64,000 square miles of forests, fields, cities, suburbs and communities on their way to the Chesapeake Bay. The watershed is a patchwork of communities that rely on its forests, streams and rivers that are a sustainable source of fish, crabs and other shellfish. As a place to recreate and connect with nature and a source of clean drinking water, it is ours to protect.

Cost is $95 at Tinyurl.com/TheTasteFundraiser. Location: 280 W. Front St., Marietta, Lancaster County. For more information, call 717-517-8698, email [email protected] or visit AllianceForTheBay.org.
