TASTE OF HOOVER 2026

Taste of Hoover celebrates the variety of culinary styles found throughout the city. Enjoy an autumn evening at the Gardens while sampling delicious dishes from some of Hoover's best restaurants, caterers, and more. Plus, get ready to taste assorted beverages and soft drinks while listening to music.

See our list of food and beverage providers below. One ticket provides you with access to all of these different food and drink options in one place. Tickets are not yet on sale. Look for them to be available in August. More information coming soon.

In addition to the Aldridge Gardens parking lot, shuttle parking will be available from the old Bed Bath and Beyond lot in the Riverchase Shopping Center at the intersection of Highway 31 and Lorna Road.

Please note, there will be no physical paper tickets. Upon registration (see "get tickets" button), your name(s) will be added to our "will call" list and you will simply need to check in when arriving at the event. Payment will be processed through PayPal and no refunds will be available.

Since this is a special event, we will not offer free admission to the Gardens during Taste of Hoover.
