Point Loma food lovers will get a delicious treat on Tuesday, April 17 when the annual Taste of Shelter Island returns for its 23rd year. The event is sponsored by the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce. The ever-popular walking samplefest boasts an impressive list of 18 participants along and around Shelter Island Drive. Proceeds from Taste of Shelter Island will benefit the Peninsula Chamber, as well as its various community programs and scholarships. Last year, more than 600 people took part in the event. As always, guests can live out their Food Network dreams by sampling the offerings of numerous San Diego restaurants — from signature dishes to newly inspired offerings — all within the span of a single evening. Tasters will have the chance to fill their bellies and drink in the sights of San Diegos beautiful bay, while at the same time enjoying the camaraderie of fellow restaurant walk participants. The event will run from 6 to 9 p.m., and tickets are $20 per person, with a $5 discount given to cyclists and Point Loma Nazarene University students. The foodie festival gives restaurants the opportunity to gain exposure to potential new diners while also providing residents with the means to connect with and support local businesses. The night kicks off with check-in at The Brigantine Seafood Restaurant, where guests may begin or explore the many other options — all at their leisure. Shuttles will be provided the entire evening to move participants from one location to the next if guests choose. Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.peninsulachamber.com, or in the parking lot of The Brigantine on the day of the event. The Peninsula Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1960 and comprises Peninsula businesses who have come together help promote commerce in Point Loma, Ocean Beach and neighboring communities.
