Tickets, promos and where to buy

As reported by News4SanAntonio, a $50 off promo code, SALIVING50, cuts the price of Select tickets through April 22.

What your ticket gets you
According to Brighton Center, a Select ticket covers unlimited tastings from more than 50 local restaurants, access to a premium open bar and live entertainment. Premier ticket holders also get access to the Spurs Club and elevated culinary pairings. The Rock at La Cantera setup mixes indoor restrooms with outdoor mingling areas so guests can drift between tasting stations without feeling boxed in. Throughout the night, organizers promise a curated mix of wines, cocktails and walking performances to keep the party moving.
The restaurant lineup and partners
Event listings point to a diverse roster of more than 50 participants, from big-name brands to neighborhood spots, turning out a wide range of flavors in sample-sized portions. Eventbrite and other ticket platforms also flag beverage partners and corporate sponsors that help underwrite the evening so the spotlight can stay on fundraising. For the most complete and current list of restaurant partners, organizers direct guests to check official event materials as the date gets closer.
Why the fundraiser matters
Brighton Center notes that events like Taste of the Northside are a primary funding source, bringing in more than $3 million each year to support pediatric therapy, inclusive preschool programs and special education services. The organization lists 210-826-4492 for event questions and stresses that dollars raised are especially critical in a child’s first five years of development. Organizers have historically drawn crowds of more than 3,000 attendees, which helps keep Brighton’s services available across San Antonio, according to News4SanAntonio.
How to go
Taste of the Northside runs from 6 to 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 23 at The Rock at La Cantera (1 Spurs Way). Tickets generally include complimentary general parking, and guests should bring both their ticket and a photo ID for drink wristbands or Premier access. For official details, purchasing options and any last minute changes, organizers advise checking the ticket listing or Brighton Center’s event page before heading out.
