If you struggle with deciding where you want to eat or if you like a wide range of options, we have an exciting opportunity for you. Every third Tuesday from 4:30 to 9:00pm, Lakeland Downtown Development Authorities (LDDA) promotes our downtown restaurants through an event called Tasty Tuesday. Tasty Tuesday gives you the opportunity to try a featured sample from at least 10 restaurants. These samples range from wings at Mojo Federal to ice cream at Mayday. The participating restaurants and the samples change each month so that you always have the opportunity to try something new.
Tasty Tuesday is a great event for any of our residents, relocators, or even visitors. Some visitors travel from outside of Lakeland to experience Tasty Tuesday. To participate you must purchase tickets from the LDDA office. You then exchange these tickets for a sample of food from the participating restaurants. You can get a pack of ten tickets for $25 at the LDDA Office until 7:00pm the evening of Tasty Tuesday. This is perfect for the last-minute Lakelanders like me. If you do choose to buy your tickets ahead of time and online, be sure you plan to stop at the LDDA office to pick up those tickets.
Tasty Tuesday is a fantastic opportunity to put a new spin on family dinner, a perfect way to show your friends what Lakeland has to offer and a wonderful reason to have a date night with your partner. The best part is, there is no order in how experience your Tasty Tuesday. You are free to start your evening with dessert, have a dinner sample, have dessert again then grab a drink. Another exciting part about Tasty Tuesday is that there is no limit to how many tickets you can use at one place. So, if you love the wings at Mojo Federal, you can use all 10 of your tickets on wings.
Recently LDDA, ExploreLKLD, and Miss Florida came together to have a Tasty Tuesday meet and greet with our Miss Florida contestants the week of the competition. Anyone who participated in Tasty Tuesday that evening was invited to participate in Miss Florida Bingo where they had the opportunity to get to know the contestants and enter a chance to win prizes. This event was a wonderful way to highlight not just our local food but also the events we have in Lakeland.
Whether you are looking to fall back in love with Lakeland or just get a taste of what Lakeland has to offer, Tasty Tuesday is the perfect outing for any local or traveling food lovers. You never know what exciting things might be happening at Tasty Tuesday.
