Little Rock Regional Chamber Excited to Announce Lineup for the 14th Annual Taste of The Rock

Over the last decade, Taste of The Rock has become one of the most anticipated post-work events in Little Rock. The Little Rock Regional Chamber invites you to reap the rewards as its members showcase their talents and products at the 2018 Taste of The Rock, on Thursday, May 17, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., at the River Market Pavilions.

“Our community’s culinary scene is critically important. We know that small business is the heartbeat of our economy and these restaurants and caterers are a big part of that,” said Jay Chesshir, President and CEO of the Little Rock Regional Chamber. “But equally important is the quality of place that these restaurants create within our community, helping us attract talent and new business from across the country. You will see some of the best that Little Rock has to offer Thursday night; it’s important that we as a community continue to support these great local businesses.”
