The Somerville Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce that tickets are now on sale for the 27th annual Taste of Somerville, a vibrant festival celebrating the city’s rich culinary and creative arts scene.

This year’s festival, which will benefit the Somerville Homeless Coalition, will take place on Wednesday, June 11, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM (rain date June 12) at The Block at Boynton Yards science and innovation campus by Union Square.

Taste of Somerville 2025 will feature more than 50 local food and beverage vendors offering an enticing array of tastes and sips. Beyond the delicious food, attendees can enjoy live music and entertainment, browse the work of local artisans, and partake in fun lawn games for the whole family.

“We are incredibly excited to bring the Taste of Somerville to the innovative Boynton Yards for the benefit of the Somerville Homeless Coalition,” said Wendy Dalwin, Executive Director of the Somerville Chamber of Commerce. “This festival truly showcases the incredible talent and vibrant spirit of our local culinary and arts community, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience it.”

Boynton Yards, located at 101 South Street in Somerville, follows in Assembly Row’s footsteps as this year’s host. This exciting new location, complete with a green space, pickleball courts, and state-of-the-art life sciences facilities, provides a fantastic outdoor-indoor backdrop for the beloved community event.

Proceeds from this year will go to the Somerville Homeless Coalition, which provides support, services, and housing to over 7,400 individuals and households annually.

“We are so grateful to the Somerville Chamber of Commerce and the entire food, beverage, and art community for their support through the Taste of Somerville,” said Felicity Beal, Director of Development, Somerville Homeless Coalition. “The funds raised at this wonderful community event will support client pathways out of homelessness and food insecurity and support the stabilization of our community members in need.”
