The Inaugural Taste of Parker Food Festival is the newest event brought to Parker by the Downtown Business Alliance (DBA). Focused on bringing together chefs, small businesses, and, most importantly, community, The Taste of Parker highlights the culinary talent of Parker as the center of this exciting event. Held on September 15th, 2026 this year, the event gathered more than 30 vendors, intent on showcasing their amazing food to the residents of Parker, Colorado.
Best of all, the community showed up in droves, excited to support local businesses and non-profits. This year, the Parker Task Force was chosen as the non-profit beneficiary of the event. The mission of the Parker Task Force is to provide food and limited financial assistance to the residents of Parker, Franktown, and Elizabeth. And we could not be more grateful for the generosity of the Taste of Parker patrons. Along with over $3,000 in monetary donations, we were able to collect 30 cases of food to help feed our community. The Parker Task Force is supported 100 percent by volunteers, ensuring that all donations go directly to the community.
