Darlington Raceway serves as historic backdrop for “Taste of Darlington” on April 16 - Speedway Digest

The annual Taste of Darlington will take place at Darlington Raceway on Thursday, April 16, from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. in the track’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series garage.

The annual culinary event benefits the Darlington Downtown Revitalization Association (DDRA) and features some of the best cooks in the area. The event is attended by community members that enjoy great local food and drink.

“This is one of the most popular events of the year,” said City of Darlington Director of Planning Lisa Chalian-Rock. “We always appreciate our relationship with Darlington Raceway. The track serves as a great historic backdrop for this annual community event.”

For over 30 years, the Taste of Darlington has been a staple on the social calendar in the community. This year’s event will feature more than 15 grillers preparing main courses and 10 stations featuring hors d’oeuvres and desserts.

“We enjoy supporting this fantastic event, which helps downtown revitalization right here in our backyard,” Darlington Raceway President Chip Wile said. “The Taste of Darlington is always well attended and we’re happy to be a part of it.”
