Taste Of Morgan Hill

Taste Of Morgan Hill is a wonderful festival held in Historic Downtown Morgan Hill and it focuses mainly on food and wine. This free and family friendly festival has been going on for the past 25 years and is one of the cities most popular events. They have a food court area with some amazing eats, a nice wine and beer garden for those looking to kick it up a notch, there are plenty of vendors, live entertainment, a quilt show in the Community Center and last but not least they have an amazing Custom & Classic Car Show. Not only that but they have plenty of rides for the children, pony rides, a petting zoo and the Wildlife Education & Rehabilitation Center (W.E.R.C.) which brings live birds, snakes and other reptiles to educate people about wildlife.
I have been coming to this festival every year for the past 4 – 5 years or so and I really enjoy it, there are certain vendors here that I like and I’m only able to find them here such as Mansmith’s BBQ, Hillbilly Tea and Scampi Shack just to name a few. I love everything that the festival has to offer, there are some really great vendors here, great food and I absolutely love the car show. The car show is not a little rinky dink one either, it takes up a large portion of the street down by the Community Center and I just love to see all the old timers showing off their cars, comparing and reminiscing about when they bought the cars.
This is definitely a must if you live in the SJ, Morgan Hill or Gilroy area because it really is a great festival. This is by far my favorite festival here and I will keep coming every year. It’s best to come early morning because by 11 – 12 it’s starting to get crowded and it’s usually really hot by that time.
