The Del Mar Village Association’s (DMVA) Taste & Art Stroll takes place on Saturday, October 2, in Downtown Del Mar along Camino Del Mar and 15th Street, and at Del Mar Plaza. The event opens with the free Art Stroll, offering vendors and an exhibition featuring more than 60 local and regional juried artists. In the afternoon, savor irresistible tastes by a number of fine restaurants, wineries, and breweries. Be sure to stop by the Ranch & Coast booth on 15th Street near L’Auberge Del Mar to cast your vote for the “tastiest taste.” The Ranch & Coast team will be on hand to collect your votes, and you’ll be entered into a drawing to win fabulous prizes courtesy of the DMVA — 12 lucky winners will win prizes from Shimbashi Izakaya, UltraStar Cinema, Smashburger, and Seaside Yogurt. The winning dish will then be featured in our November issue. Additional event highlights include live musical entertainment, a number of interactive art activities for kids, and a pet stroll.
