The Community Awareness Committee of the Greater Hazleton of Commerce is currently looking for any restaurant or catering facility to participate in the 2nd Annual Tastes of Greater Hazleton. Due to an overwhelming response, the committee has decided to make this an annual event. The event features a sampling of signature dishes and products from restaurants and businesses from throughout Greater Hazleton.
It is scheduled to take place Sunday, October 18th from 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm in the Holy Family Academy (former Bishop Hafey High School) auditorium. 1700 W. 22nd Street in Hazleton.
The opportunity is open to any restaurant or catering facility from throughout Greater Hazleton. There is no registration fee, however, you are asked to provide a tasting to each of the individuals who attend the event. The goal of this event is to show off your signature dish and promote and market your restaurant to a wide audience. This also gives the residents of Greater Hazleton a look at the excellent variety of restaurants that are located right in their own backyard.
Space is limited and is on a first come first serve basis. If you are interested in participating in this event, please contact Leann Fallabel at the Chamber office, at 455-1509 or email
