For Immediate Release:

The Apopka Area Chamber of Commerce Arts & Entertainment Council was formed in early 2021 and began to meet and identify opportunities, talents, ideas, and discovering ways to connect the many talented artists in the Apopka area to the community to promote cultural health. We know the arts build both community & economy.

Upcoming: Celebrating our 15th Annual Taste of Apopka – with a Twist!

Through the Passport to Apopka Project we have transformed the one night only food contest that 800 guests enjoyed in 2021, into a month’s long food & beverage Taste of Apopka-with a Twist competition.

Diners have the chance to be the judge as they dine around Apopka restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, and taps. Diners vote and patronize for a chance to win weekly prizes. 

Participating restaurants, food & beverage serving establishments (including cottage businesses, caterers, and food trucks) can also win weekly prizes. The overall restaurant winners for the month will receive the 2022 Taste of Apopka with a Twist trophy in their category.

Taste of Apopka with a Twist will run November 1-30! (Restaurants do not have to be a member of the chamber to participate).

Restaurants, Food & Beverage Contestants Register Now to enter for your chance to win $200! Winner will be announced at the October 24 Taste of Apopka-with a Twist launch party.

Passport to Apopka gives restaurants, live music, muralists, entertainers, musicians, catering, chefs, gig artists, ecotourists, social media influencers, restaurant preneurs, “cottage” businesses, festival promoters, and fundraisers a way to share their events with the Apopka community.

This is a community friendly website brought to you by the Apopka Area Chamber of Commerce Arts & Entertainment Council – & the volunteer business supporters who have developed it.

A huge thank you to all participants of Arts & Entertainment Council, YellowJack Media, Business Designs Unlimited, Alexander Eyota, and the Chamber of Commerce team! Thank you for all of your hard work on the development of Passport Apopka & Taste.
