For 31 years, Taste of the Islands has brought together some of the best restaurants on Sanibel and Captiva – and this Sunday the event is at it again.
A celebration of the many independent restaurants that dot these Gulf-front islands, Taste of the Islands brings together 20 locally operated eateries, all with one mission: raising money to benefit CROW, the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife.
From 12:30-5 p.m. Sunday, Taste of the Islands will serve up food, live music from local bands Rocker and Stolen Fruit, kids activities, a server competition and a new, silent auction at the Sanibel Community Park at 2231 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel.
“We draw from the best local independent eateries in all of Florida,” event chair Melissa Congress said in a press release, “and that is what makes the event so special.”
Admission is $5 with children 10-and-under free. Food and beverage tickets will be for sale at various tents throughout the park.
Participating restaurants include: Bailey’s Sanibel Catering & Takeout, Blue Giraffe, Bubble Room, Chip’s Sanibel Steakhouse, Cip’s Place, Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille, George and Wendy’s Sanibel Seafood Grille, Gramma Dot’s, Island BBQ, The Jacaranda, Matzaluna the Fun Italian Restaurant, Old Captiva House at ’Tween Waters Inn, Over Easy Cafe, Pinocchio’s Original Italian Ice Cream, Sanibel Deli & Coffee Factory, Sanibel Oasis Cafe (formerly East End Deli), Sanibel Fish House, Sea Star Cafe, Timbers Restaurant and Fish Market, and Traders Cafe.
