Come and see what is happening in Saugatuck - it's a renaissance of food, drink and activity.

On Saturday September 17, 2011 from noon - 3pm three dozen of Saugatuck's finest restaurants, shops and galleries will be opening their doors and inviting the community to come and sample their offerings. Walk the streets of Saugatuck Center and taste your way from restaurant to restaurant, to liquor store, to retail merchant and back.

Walk the Slice!!!

From Riverside Avenue to Railroad Place, to Charles Street, to Saugatuck Avenue each venue will have something special to offer. Try some brick oven pizza, a specialty soup or a dish from Mario Batali at his new locale. Watch a Black Belt Tae Kwon Do demonstration by Westport's award winning martial artists or learn to fly fish. Listen to some music and stroll along the boardwalk at the newly built plaza overlooking the river. Maybe even take a paddle on a SUP or kayak. There is so much to do for the whole family. Bring the kids and check out the Fire Department's antique fire engine, the fire safety trailer and tour the historic Fire House which will be open to the public.

Grab a map and see if you can taste everything being offered. Your stomach will be full before you get to the end.

Activities:

Restaurants / Caterers, 22 and counting, will offer free tastings of their signature dishes right in front of their locations.

Liquor Stores will offer free wine tastings.

Retailers will offer kayak rides, gym work outs, fly fishing lessons, Environmental tips, discount coupons and martial arts demonstrations - all free.

Parking is on Riverside Avenue under 95 in the RR lot #5, right next to the new plaza.

The goal is to have you see Saugatuck for what it is, where it is. Come and Walk the Slice!

Band:


A New York City band, formed by a couple with a kid. They play music with the parental exerience in mind. Both young and old will enjoy their rock & roll take on bringing up children in the 21st century.
