The 3rd Annual MAINopoly: Taste of Main Street event will take place on Sunday, May 29th from 3-8 p.m. at the street's best food and beverage establishments to raise funds for Summer SOULstice and Heal the Bay. MAINopoly is a fun, interactive community event that mirrors the classic board game, and gives participants a culinary walking tour of Main Street's finest restaurants, juiceries, ice cream stores, coffee shops and more.
Attendees will receive food tastings at participating locations, which will feature items such as pulled pork sliders from Areal, lobster shooters from Knuckle & Claw, gelato tastings from Dolcenero Gelato, coffee from Bulletproof and many more. Select restaurants will also be offering drink specials like $4 draft beers, $5 cocktails and $5 shots for those with the official wristband.
Other activities include beer gardens, Kids Zone at Books & Cookies, "Go to Jail" at Pink Elephant and a VIP lounge sponsored by Shock Top with hosted beer, food, DJ, snacks, games and more. Attendees are encouraged to dress in "Monopoly"-inspired or patriotic attire. Those who check off all of the locations on the "game board" and turn it in at the official after party at AREAL will be entered to win a "Taste of Main Street" prize package with gift certificates to participating locations.
