Local Tip
Parking at Uptown Altamonte can get crowded during major events. Park in the Altamonte Mall parking lot near the AMC Theatres and use the pedestrian walkway to Cranes Roost—it’s often faster than navigating the garage traffic closer to the amphitheater.
Charity & Impact
Beyond the food and drink, the Taste of Altamonte is a “party with a purpose.” All proceeds from the event benefit the Altamonte Springs Rotary Foundation, which supports a wide variety of local charitable organizations and community projects throughout Seminole County.
Make sure to secure your Early Bird tickets online before May 18th to save $20 off the door price!
