"It's called Taco Tour Manchester, and it returned last year for the first time since 2019 with all the excitement you'd expect and then some, with the annual tradition back on track now. Since 2011, this May festival in the Queen City has grown annually into one of the biggest and best festivals in New England, with just 2020 and 2021 cancelled for obvious reasons.

"Taco Tour Manchester is that one night each year where restaurants and venues that want to participate ALL serve tacos. No matter the restaurant cuisine and style, most figure out how to create tacos while flaunting their restaurant. How scrumptious is that? Save up that appetite so you can taste test like crazy as you amble from restaurant to restaurant lining Elm, all offering up incredible, mouthwatering tacos."

"Taco Tour Manchester is the one day of the year where downtown Manchester restaurants and venues all serve delicious tacos! Elm Street will be shut down for locals and visitors alike to have a terrific time sampling all the tacos that they can possibly eat during the four hour long festival," the official website says.

"Taco Tour Manchester is most importantly a chance to visit our wonderful downtown and discover something new from our amazing restaurants! We will have 60+ participants serving $3 tacos for you to enjoy!"

"Taco Tour Manchester, hosted by the Greater Manchester Chamber in Manchester, NH, will return to Downtown Manchester on Thursday, May 2, 2024, from 4 – 8 p.m. EST. This popular Manchester tradition, that began in 2011, is quickly becoming one of the largest one-day food festivals in the country and will welcome more than 20,000 visitors from Manchester and beyond. Participating restaurants will showcase unique culinary twists on the taco for patrons to enjoy. Attendance to Taco Tour Manchester is open and free to the public," the Manchester Ink Link says.

"“In 2023, the attendee experience greatly improved, and we heard satisfactory feedback from taco lovers who enjoyed the shorter wait times and increased variety of options. Of attendees surveyed, 76% stated they discovered a new restaurant at Taco Tour Manchester and 80% said they would return to Downtown Manchester in the near future,” said Cole Riel, Small Business & Community Development Director at the Greater Manchester Chamber and the Director of Taco Tour Manchester.

"In 2024, Taco Tour Manchester will feature a free concert, powered by 92.5 The River on the M&T Bank Bandstand Stage. Performing acts will be announced in the coming weeks and additional live music will be featured throughout the event. The Greater Manchester Chamber would also like to thank Dos Equis & NH Distributors for their continued support of Taco Tour Manchester."

"Incorporated in 1911, the Greater Manchester Chamber (GMC) is the largest business organization in New Hampshire, focusing its efforts primarily on Manchester and the surrounding communities of Auburn, Bedford, Candia, Derry, Goffstown, Hooksett, Litchfield, Londonderry, and Merrimack," the Greater Manchester Chamber says.

"When spring arrives and thoughts turn to warmer weather and sunshine, enjoying a taco (or several) sounds like a great way to spend the afternoon. The state’s largest city of Manchester is home to a food festival in New Hampshire that also happens to be the largest of its kind," the Only In Your State says.

"Taco Tour Manchester is literally the world's largest taco festival and it's held each spring in downtown Manchester, New Hampshire. Elm Street, the major artery through downtown, will be closed to traffic to allow locals and visitors to enjoy the festival, which runs for four hours.

"The event is free to attend and shuttles and trolleys are available to transport guests from nearby parking lots. The festival kicks off at 4 P.M. Taco Tour Manchester is a chance to visit the largest city in the state to sample dishes from the dozens of participating restaurants."

"Taco Tour Manchester comes back to Elm Street this Thursday, May 4 from 4-8pm. The event will feature 90+ participating restaurants and businesses. This solidifies Taco Tour Manchester as the “World’s Largest Taco Tour” and one of the largest single-day food festivals in the world. This event will feature creative interpretations and spins on the taco as they relate to each specific business," the manchester-chamber.com says.

"Save some room for this year's Taco Tour, which will take over downtown Manchester from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, May 2. First held in 2011, the event, hosted by the Greater Manchester Chamber, draws more than 20,000 food lovers to the city each year.

"Participating restaurants — more than 60 — will showcase unique culinary twists on the taco. Each one costs $3, though there are some 2 for $5 deals. The $3 fee is meant to apply to things that pay homage to the taco, such as thematic iced coffee or a taco-inspired pizza slice. It's best to bring cash as some of the vendors don't take credit cards," the Yahoo News says.

"The Taco Tour Manchester website was visited by people from almost every state in the U.S. and serves as a valuable exposure point for Manchester area restaurants, the downtown business community and the region at large, said Taco Tour Manchester Director Cole Riel."
