Yelp's Taste of Parker Food Festival

SOLD OUT — no walk-ups. Yelp confirmed on the morning of the event that the guest list is closed and that no one will be admitted at the door without an e-ticket: “No walk ups will be accepted at the door. We are sold out.” One RSVP equals one ticket, and it is only valid for the person named on it.

Yelp’s inaugural Taste of Parker Food Festival takes over the outdoor complex at Parker Station, 19751 E Mainstreet, for a grand tasting of local food, drink, and live entertainment. Yelp’s final sponsor list runs 29 food and drink names plus entertainment and community partners; the event is all-you-can-sample and expects over 400 guests. It doubles as a fundraiser for the Parker Task Force Food Bank — cash or non-perishable food, collected at entry, with a Yelp swag bag for the first 200 people who donate.

If you are holding a ticket: doors at 6:00pm, and Yelp expects a line to form about 45 minutes before. Check in at the booth in the breezeway at Parker Station’s front entrance with your e-ticket QR code to get wristbanded. Ages 21+, valid ID required, no exceptions. The event is entirely outdoors — check the forecast. Alcohol samples are being poured, so Yelp is pointing guests at rideshare; nearby lots charge a small hourly fee and surrounding street parking is free.
