Guests are invited to drop by after-hours in the boatyard and plaza. Visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets to use, as only a limited number of picnic tables will be available.

These evenings of fun occur on the first Thursday of the month; including these dates, June 1st, July 6th, and August 3rd. Food and beverages will be available beginning at 5 PM. And the only thing better than a spectacular dinner is a show to go with it; live music will run from 5 to 10pm on each evening during "Taste." And parking shouldn't be an issue as ample parking is available in the public lot outside of the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium.

Taste of summer is open to all ages and free to attend. At each event, food vendors will compete for the “Best Vendor’ prize, voted on by attendees. Beverage sales and freewill donations will go to supporting the River Museum’s conservation efforts to save endangered species.
