“We are very excited to bring this year’s Spring Taste of Dupont to the local residents as well as visiting guests from around the area and foreign countries.

Susan Taylor, Chair of the HDCMS Promotions Committee.

A master ticket to all 15 Taste of Dupont locations is only $20 in advance and can be purchased through www.dupontcirclemainstreets.org. On the day of the event, tickets are $30 on the west side of Dupont Circle starting at 12:30 p.m. This event is designed to showcase the wide variety of white tablecloth restaurants that can be found around Dupont Circle. Rain date is April 16th from 1:00-4:00.

This is the ninth annual Taste of Dupont fundraiser organized by the HDCMS, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization. All proceeds from the event will benefit our job training program to help those working with our clean team – a job training program through Central Union Mission.
