Returning for its second year, on Saturday September 15, 2012 from 12 – 3pm over three dozen of Saugatuck’s finest restaurants, shops and galleries will be opening their doors and inviting the community to come and sample their offerings. Walk the streets of Saugatuck Center and taste your way from restaurant to restaurant, to liquor store, to retail merchant and back.
From Riverside Avenue to Railroad Place, to Charles Street, to Saugatuck Avenue each venue will have something special to offer. Try some brick oven pizza, a specialty soup or a dish from Mario Batali. Try something at Bridge Square’s 3 new eateries. Watch a Black Belt Tae Kwon Do demonstration by Westport’s award winning martial artists or learn to fly fish. Listen to over 4 bands and stroll along the boardwalk at the plaza overlooking the river. Maybe even take a paddle on a SUP or kayak. There is so much to do for the whole family. Bring the kids and check out the Fire Department’s antique fire engine, the fire safety trailer and tour the historic Fire House which will be open to the public.
Grab a map and see if you can taste everything being offered. Your stomach will be full before you get to the end.
