Eat, Drink, and Give Back at Taste of EastLake 2026

If you’re looking for a summer night out that means something, this one’s worth circling. The EastLake Educational Foundation is hosting its annual Taste of EastLake event at the Chula Vista Elite Training Center – yes, the iconic facility formerly known as the Olympic Training Center – and it’s shaping up to be one of the South Bay’s standout evenings of the season.

Taste of Eastlake

Garden Party Meets Local Food Scene

Nestled in a garden party-inspired environment at one of Chula Vista’s most recognized landmarks, Taste of EastLake brings together 40+ local food and beverage purveyors for an evening of great eats, drinks, and good company.

Think of it as a curated tour through some of the region’s best flavors, all in one place and all under the open sky.

Live entertainment and a silent auction round out the night, giving you plenty to do between bites and sips. It’s a well-paced, well-organized event that moves at a social rhythm – the kind where you can linger at a table, try something new, and strike up a conversation with the person next to you.

A Night Out With Real Impact

This is a 21+ event, and every dollar from ticket sales goes directly toward technology and innovation programs for EastLake K-12 public schools. So while you’re enjoying local brews and bites, you’re also contributing to something that has a real effect on the community. No fundraising gimmicks, just 100% of proceeds going where they’re needed.

Tickets are limited, and there’s a pricing incentive to lock in early, so don’t sit on this one too long.

Night of Great Food & Giving Back

See you there!

Taste of EastLake is one of those evenings that delivers on every front. Great food, a beautiful setting, live music, and a cause worth supporting.
