Food lovers, families, and neighborhood explorers, mark your calendars! On Sunday, May 17, 2026 Fenton Village will transform into an international culinary destination for the highly anticipated Taste the World 2026, a vibrant community celebration showcasing the rich flavors and cultures that make this neighborhood one of the region’s most exciting dining hubs.
From 1 to 5pm, guests are invited to stroll through Fenton Village and experience an unforgettable afternoon of global cuisine, local pride, and family-friendly fun.
