2026 Theme: Touch of Class​

In the spirit of tradition, Taste of Carmel’s 2026 theme is Touch of Class, with a special nod to celebrating 60 years of impact by Carmel Education Foundation. The traditional symbol for a 60th anniversary is diamonds, so think sparkle, shine, and timeless elegance—or creative ways to reflect the lasting impact CEF has had on students, educators, and our community over the past six decades.

​

Whether subtle or bold, we invite you to bring your own interpretation of this milestone celebration to life.

General Admission tickets will be available for a 7pm entrance and include:

  • Access to all food and beverages

    (All guests are welcome to participate in raffles and the silent auction.)

All guests will receive:

A special take-home gift
