Secure your spot to experience the best of our local culinary and art scene while supporting a wonderful cause.
The Taste of Surprise & Art Festival is a vibrant community event that brings together local cuisine, art, and live entertainment to celebrate the unique flavor and creativity of the West Valley.
Hosted by the Rotary Club of Surprise and Sun City West, the event offers attendees the chance to enjoy delicious food, explore stunning artwork from local artists, and experience live music—all while making a difference in the community.


Funds raised through this event enroll local children in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a program that delivers free, high-quality, age-appropriate books each month to children from birth to age five. This global initiative works through local partnerships to put books directly into the hands and homes of young readers, fostering a lifelong love of reading.
As one of the largest community gatherings in the West Valley, this event serves as a vital fundraiser for the Surprise and Sun City West Rotary Charitable Fund, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to supporting early childhood literacy.
With the support of sponsors, attendees, and community partners, this event makes a lasting impact—one book, one child, and one bright future at a time.
