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. Taste of The Rock, the region's premier food and beverage showcase, will be presented by McLarty Automotive Group, in partnership with Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Choctaw Casino Hotel – Pocola, and Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau. Called one of the region’s only underpriced fundraisers, Taste of The Rock indulges attendees with all you can eat and drink selections from more than 25 chamber member restaurants, caterers, and distributors for a celebration of food and drink.
