A Message from Our Event Chair Don Ralls
Welcome to the 2026 Taste of Claremont! This will be our 25 th Taste of Claremont. Attendees have said that it is best party in
Claremont! Dozens of vendors will be offering food, wine, beer, and other delights.
Hundreds of community members will come together to socialize and enjoy the best of
our local food scene. Most importantly, you will help raise funds that Claremont Rotary
will distribute to nonprofit organizations doing good and making a change in our local
community and the world. This year’s Taste of Claremont Committee are working
together to make the 2026 event the best event ever. We are looking forward to seeing
you, and enjoying an evening that celebrates, connects, and contributes to helping
