Taste of the Sound - Thurston County’s Food & Resource Festival is Thurston County’s inaugural curated Food + Resource Festival, a vibrant event that merges local flavors, small businesses, and meaningful community connections into one unforgettable experience. This festival is not just about food; it’s about fostering community ties, supporting local entrepreneurs, and enhancing access to community-based services.
Taste of the Sound is designed to be both an engaging public event and a platform where local businesses can gain visibility and make a lasting impact. It’s a space where attendees can explore a diverse array of stalls, each offering unique products and services that reflect the creativity and dedication of Thurston County’s entrepreneurs.
We are thrilled to announce that The Emerald Kingdom will have a booth at Taste of the Sound, representing Emerald Kingdom Parties and Emerald Kingdom Cakes. Our booth will be a hub of activity, featuring beloved characters who will be present throughout the event, adding a touch of magic and whimsy to the festival experience.
As part of the festival, we are participating in the Sip & Savor Pass, which invites visitors to indulge in a delightful array of treats crafted especially to showcase the culinary delights available at The Emerald Kingdom. Whether you're planning a party or simply have a sweet tooth, our offerings will tempt and satisfy.
We invite everyone to come and enjoy the Taste of the Sound festival, where you can support local businesses, enjoy delicious food, and engage in meaningful interactions. Join us at The Emerald Kingdom booth to explore the enchanting flavors and festive spirit we bring to every event. See you there!
