The TASTE of Tippecanoe is an annual festival celebrating food, music, and art, serving as a fundraiser for The Arts Federation. The event takes place on the third Saturday in June from 5 PM to 11 PM. For forty-four years, the TASTE has been Lafayette's largest annual street festival, celebrating year 45 in 2026. The festival is open to the general public, with a focus on showcasing the area's best local food, music, and art. The event features a diverse lineup of live performances, including local artists and musicians. One of the performers is Christopher Gipson, who plays 100% original rock infused with folk and true Hoosier roots, with 30 years of experience playing his music around the state. The festival also includes a variety of food and drink options from participating restaurants, and attendees can check out the schedule of live performances through the event app. The TASTE of Tippecanoe relies on volunteers to help make the event successful, and volunteers are encouraged to join the team to make a difference.
