The Taste of the Coast is a toast to the food, drinks, and fun of the Grand Strand. Samples from local restaurants, live entertainment and a Kid Zone complete with rides and games make for a great family outing. Proceeds from the event raise scholarship money for students at the Risen Christ Lutheran School.
