- **Event Description**: CARNEGIE HALL’S TASTE OF OUR TOWNS CELEBRATES 40 YEARS – AND ITS FINAL FESTIVAL IN 2026

This fall marks both a celebration and a farewell as Carnegie Hall prepares to host the 40th and final Taste of Our Towns (TOOT) festival. After four decades as one of West Virginia’s most cherished community traditions, Carnegie Hall has announced that this milestone year will conclude the organization’s role as host of the event.

Founded in 1984 as a creative fundraiser for Carnegie Hall, TOOT quickly grew into a signature regional festival that draws thousands of visitors to downtown Lewisburg each October. For forty years, the event has showcased the best of the Greenbrier Valley—local food, live music, artisan talent, and the unmistakable spirit of community that defines the region.

Each year on the second Saturday in October, downtown Lewisburg transforms into a bustling open‑air tasting room where restaurants, civic groups, and nonprofits serve up their favorite specialties. Over time, TOOT expanded to include multiple stages of live music, children’s activities, artisan demonstrations, and special features such as the Beer & Cider Garden. Through every evolution, the festival remained rooted in its original purpose: supporting Carnegie Hall’s mission to provide world‑class arts education, performances, and cultural programming for the region.

As TOOT enters its 40th year, Carnegie Hall honors the generations of volunteers, vendors, performers, and attendees who helped shape the festival into a beloved tradition. What began as a simple idea—neighbors gathering to share good food for a good cause—became a defining celebration of community in the heart of Lewisburg.

Carnegie Hall invites everyone to join in making the 40th and final TOOT a memorable tribute to the festival’s remarkable legacy.
