What's Happening?
Segerstrom Center for the Arts is bringing back its 'Taste of the Arts' dining series for the 2026-27 season. The program pairs performances with multi-course dinners at local Orange County restaurants. The series includes six nights of dining and shows,
starting with Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra on September 19. Each event features a themed dinner followed by a performance, aiming to encourage patrons to explore local dining and diverse artistic genres.
Why It's Important?
The revival of the 'Taste of the Arts' series is significant as it promotes cultural engagement and supports local businesses. By combining dining with performances, Segerstrom Center for the Arts enhances the cultural experience for patrons, potentially increasing attendance and support for the arts. This initiative also benefits local restaurants by driving traffic and exposure. The series reflects a broader trend of integrating cultural and culinary experiences to attract diverse audiences and foster community engagement.
