The Taste will be served “Boxed”!

Date: Sunday September 13, 2020 
Location: Savoy Banquet Center 119 S Florissant Road Ferguson, Mo 63135
Drive-thru pickup: 4:00 to 6:00 pm

When you arrive at the Savoy the south bound inside lane will be closed to regular traffic and will be set up as a staging lane to allow you to enter the parking lot. There will be people directing the cars into this lane. (You will not be able to turn into the lot off Florissant Road from the north bound lanes.)  As you enter the lot there will be two separate drive thru lanes, you can pull into either one of the lanes. 

At the check in point, you will need to provide your name and show us your online order confirmation receipt.  You can have it on your mobile device or a printed copy.  If someone is with you that has an actual ticket, please give the ticket to the check in person. We will ask you if want either a bottle of water or what kind of soda, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi or 7Up. You will then be directed to drive through your lane to the pickup area. At this point we will fill your order. Rest assured all the volunteers will be screened that day, will be wearing face coverings and gloves.

We will be following the current St. Louis County social distancing guidelines for our event. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday.  Thank you for supporting the 8th Annual Taste in Ferguson “Boxed” event!
‍Please have your order confirmation receipt in hand before you get to the check in point.

Since March of 2020, many things have changed as we continue to navigate through the effects of Covid19.  Events having large gatherings of people have taken on a different look, so has our event.  You have always enjoyed great food from an array of vendors at the Taste in Ferguson event. Well you still can this year! You are going to enjoy their same great food individually packaged and served in a large box. Instead of coming to the Savoy and walking up to the food vendor’s tent, you will be driving up to the Savoy and receiving a large box filled with delicious freshly prepared sample size servings from our local food vendors.    

This year’s Taste event has a dual purpose. As always, The Robbie McGartland and Samantha Lipka Memorial Scholarship Funds will continue to provide scholarships to our local grade school and high school youth. Your support will also be helping our food vendors. Many of them have faced challenging times this year and unfortunately, a few of our core restaurants have had to close their businesses. In past years, our food vendors provided most of their food for free. This year a portion of each ticket sold will be covering their food cost. These businesses have stood by us year after year. We are standing by them this year.
