This year’s Taste of Durango, the premier food festival held every spring, has been canceled, with its future uncertain.
For the past few decades, Taste of Durango has brought together local restaurants and breweries to celebrate the town’s culinary scene. For a full day, vendors set up tents along Main Ave., taking over downtown.
Taste of Durango, however, has run into some challenges in recent years. In 2020 and 2021, the festival was canceled because of the pandemic. When the event returned last year, many attendees complained about long wait lines, a complicated wristband process and lack of vendor/food availability.
If you have something to say about the state of tourism in Durango (and we know you do), now is the time to speak up.
The City of Durango recently announced the “Resident Sentiment Survey” is now open for all county residents to weigh in, which aims to “monitor resident opinions on tourism in La Plata County over time.”
