Taste of Homer 2026 — That’s a Wrap!

Thank you for an incredible Taste of Homer!

This year’s event brought together local restaurants, food producers, growers, artists, businesses, and community partners for ten days of eating, exploring, and supporting local.

2026 Taste of Homer Winner We had 88 completed Taste of Homer Passports returned with 509 stamps collected—representing hundreds of visits to Passport locations throughout the event. Our Chef’s Dining Experience and Guided Taste of Homer Tour sold out, Taste of Homer × First Friday brought food and art together across town, and we introduced several new events and experiences throughout the week.

Congratulations to our Grand Prize Passport winners, Homer locals Phillip Brewer and Bonnie Lee! They’ll receive transportation with Coldwater Taxi and a Dinner for Two at The Meandering Goat.

A huge thank you to every business, partner, and participant who helped make Taste of Homer 2026 such a success.

Taste of Homer will be back in 2027—and we’re already cooking up some exciting new things for next year!

Taste of Homer 2026

Friday August 28, 2026 - Monday September 7, 2026

Although the event has been held in late May for the last few years, this year’s event is being thoughtfully moved to the fall, with tentative dates of August 28 – September 7, 2026.

This shift allows us to better celebrate what makes Homer’s culinary scene so special — our local growers, seasonal ingredients, talented chefs, food producers, and the authentic flavors of our community. By moving Taste of Homer later in the season, we hope to create a richer, more locally rooted experience while also shining a spotlight on Homer’s vibrant end-of-season atmosphere.

Taste of Homer will continue to feature a week of restaurant specials, culinary experiences, and unique food events that showcase the incredible creativity and flavor of Homer’s food scene.
