Get a Taste of Downtown Silver City,
September 23
The fourth weekend in September is, as usual, a delicious time to be in historic downtown Silver City. On Saturday, Sept. 23, the Silver City MainStreet Project will again sponsor the annual "Taste of Downtown Silver City." A $15 ticket buys you samples from more than 15 restaurants and other food-related businesses from one end of downtown to the next. "Taste" will also celebrate the annual apple harvest, at the Silver City Farmers' Market, present a showcase of area musicians and screen a "food" movie—Soul Food—at the Silco Theater.
