Tickets are either eight for $20 or 18 for $40 and can be purchased online. Each ticket gets you a sample from one business. Along with the food, the event will also feature a fall-themed photo booth, live music from George Barrie at Findlay Market’s bar, Jane’s, from noon to 3 p.m. and a wine ring toss (tickets are $20 for three chances).
Findlay Market will also be hosting a Halloween costume and candy drive that day. You can donate new or gently used costumes and bags of sealed candy, and donating an item will get you an additional tasting ticket. Guests can also try to find one of 16 Tommy Tomatoes hidden among merchants’ stands. If you find Tommy, bring him to the ticket tent to claim a prize.
