Fall has arrived in Downtown Hayward, and the season is packed with ways to celebrate community, culture and fun.
Taste of Hayward
This fall, Downtown Hayward is serving up something brand new: the first-ever Taste of Hayward on Thursday, Oct. 9 from 4 to 8pm! This one-night-only celebration brings the community together to explore the neighborhood’s culinary scene, with local restaurants and eateries offering special tastings.
Sample signature pizzas at the ever-popular Craft Pizzeria and Susie Q’s Pizza or enjoy classic pub fare and brews from Buffalo Bill’s Cerveceria and Rockit Char Grill. Craving bold flavors? Casa Del Toro and Metro Taqueria will be serving up authentic Hispanic bites, while Tang Jip, The Gurkha Kitchen and Mujiri showcase Asian flavors. And don’t miss sips and bites from other local favorites like The Bistro, Snappy’s Café, Once Tea and Erik’s DeliCafé.
With more than a dozen stops to explore, this self-guided adventure lets foodies discover Downtown Hayward in a whole new way. Tickets are $35 (plus a service fee) and include tastings at all participating locations. For more information visit tasteofhayward.com.
