THIS YEAR: Nestled in a stunning valley and filled with the delightful perfume of citrus blooming, Ojai is known for its eclectic art and music scene, diverse restaurants, numerous wineries, and unique shops in one of the most desired travel destinations in California. This year’s 23rd Annual Rotary Club of Ojai’s fundraiser showcases food from local restaurants, delicious offerings from our local wineries, and tours of art galleries and specialized shops as ticket holders are invited on a self-guided walking journey through the village of Ojai. The event ends at Libbey Park with entertainment, a live and silent auction, a specialty marketplace, and a special dessert and wine tasting while experiencing the Pink Moment from downtown Ojai.
OF SERVICE: Proceeds from Taste of Ojai benefit the Rotary Club of Ojai charitable activities. The Rotary Club of Ojai has raised nearly one million dollars over the last two decades with Taste of Ojai being our primary fundraising event. Each year the club’s charitable activities include $30,000 in grants to community nonprofits, $12,000 for education programs in our schools, $15,000 for international humanitarian projects, and other financial and volunteer support to the needs of our community.
