Taste of Hoover

It’s a great way to try a lot of different restaurants, types of food, and tastes all in one spot. Tickets are now available on our website. Restaurants, caterers, and beverage providers can still apply to participate.

As always, you can expect to enjoy an autumn evening with us strolling through the Gardens and sampling delicious dishes from some of Hoover’s best restaurants, caterers, and more. Plus you can taste assorted beverages and soft drinks while listening to live entertainment.

In addition to the Aldridge Gardens parking lot, shuttle parking will be available from the Bed Bath and Beyond lot in the Riverchase Shopping Center at the intersection of Highway 31 and Lorna Road.

Please note, there will be no physical paper tickets. Upon registration (see “get tickets” button), your name(s) will be added to our “will call” list and you will simply need to check in when arriving at the event. No refunds will be available.

Please be aware that this is a special event and we will not offer free admission to the Gardens during Taste of Hoover.

Here’s a list of area restaurants and Aldridge Gardens’ preferred vendors scheduled to serve up tasty samples from their menus. This list is officially closed at this time. But interested food and beverage providers contact us (see information below the list) to still possibly be a part of this year’s event.
