On Friday, September 6, the public is invited to enjoy food and
drinks from over 30 of the best restaurants, wineries, breweries,

Mensing, and Rob Akey will all be quick-finishing their

“Each year, Warrior Taste Fest brings together a community of
patriots to celebrate the resilience and potential of our Nations’
combat veterans,” said Brian Gilman, CEO of Warriors & Quiet
Waters. “This is a chance to have a fun and memorable night out,
and opportunity to help empower our nation’s veterans to overcome
their challenges and find new strengths and a sense of purpose.
