Raise your forks to help raise money for local schools at the third annual Taste of North PB Restaurant Walk Wednesday, Feb. 28, from 5 to 8:30 p.m.
The community culinary event, sponsored by Friends of Pacific Beach Elementary and Friends of Pacific Beach Secondary Schools (FOPBSS), raises funds to enrich local schools’ arts and education programs.
“We have been trying to bring a sense of community back to Pacific Beach, and the Taste of North PB accomplishes that,” said Kerry Upp, vice president of FOPBSS.
Last year’s nearly sold-out restaurant walk raised more than $8,400 that was split evenly between the parent teacher Organizations of PB Elementary, Pacific Beach Middle School and Mission Bay High School, according to Laura Daly, president of Friends of Pacific Beach Elementary parent-teacher organization. The money went to support programs like Art Attack and Missoula Children’s Theater.
“With school budgets shrinking again this year, this fund-raiser is essential for us,” Upp said.
With the cost of a ticket, guests can take the self-guided restaurant tour and sample an assortment of dishes at each of the participating restaurants, which line Cass and Turquoise streets. Participating restaurants will be marked with balloon bouquets donated by G-Whiz.
According to event organizers, The Fishery will feature its signature chowder, Chateau Orleans will serve its jambalaya and Chocolate Haus is offering samples of its dessert chocolates.
In addition, both Pernicano’s and Turquoise Coffee will also showcase live music during the event.
New this year to the restaurant walk will be the Mission Bay High School Jazz Band performing for guests.
