OCALA, FL (352today.com) – Ocala-based medical nonprofit Estella Byrd Whitman Community Health Center‘s third annual Taste of the Town Fundraiser isn’t until Sept. 10, 2026–it’s a fun, social and beneficial lead-in to the annual communitywide Give4Marion nonprofit fundraising campaign on Sept. 15 & 16–but Early “Byrd” tickets are only available through Aug. 15, so we thought we should give you a heads up.
Opened in 2018, the Estella Byrd Whitman Community Health Center is dedicated to providing avenues to accessible, professional primary care to the residents of West Ocala, particularly those who face economic barriers to accessing such basic medical attention.
This year, EBWCHC’s Taste of the Town features delicious dishes and concoctions from 26 local restaurants and vendors, and will also feature live music as well as the opportunity to nosh and socialize while helping a valuable community resource.
Up through Aug. 15, Early “Byrd” tickets for Taste of the Town are available here (or scan the QR code below) for $35 for adults and $15 for children 12 and under. After the cutoff, ticket prices will go up.
As previously mentioned, this year’s Taste of the Town goes down on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026, at Ocala Downtown Market, 403 Osceola Ave., Ocala, kicking off at 5 p.m.
