It's Your City: Helpful tips for navigating Saturday's Taste of Downtown Carson City
In this week's edition of It's Your City, host Cortney Bloomer welcomes Lisa Lee, executive director of Advocates to End Domestic Violence, to talk about Saturday's upcoming Taste of Downtown Carson City.
The Taste of Downtown returns to Carson City bringing an enticing array of savory entrees, sweet desserts, and refreshing beverages to the event. The soirée is a fundraiser for Advocates to End Domestic Violence.
Lisa provides some helpful tips and strategies (like wear comfortable shoes) on how to maneuver the event, which runs over 13 city blocks.

Nearly 40 restaurants have signed on, 15 shops and galleries, and 7 live bands will be present during the festivities, which kick off at 5:30 p.m. With the new and improved downtown Carson City roadway, which was finished last year before Nevada Day, the event should make for a tasty, walkable community wide celebration.
Along with delicious foods and beverages, Taste of Downtown provides a purpose in their community, as all proceeds from the event will benefit advocates to end domestic violence. Advocates to End Domestic Violence is a private, non-profit organization formed in 1979 by two formerly battered women who saw a need for a domestic violence program in Carson City.
The organization began in a small two-bedroom apartment and today has grown into a full service program that operates a 51-bed shelter and provides a wide variety of services designed to protect and support battered women and their children in the community. With a mission in place to cement a safe and supportive environment, advocates are working towards a violence free future.
Pre-sale tickets for the event can be found here. Tickets are $40 at the moment, but will increase to $45 the day of the event.
