Tastings on the Town 2025
June 26 | Revel | 304 E. Stone Ave., Greenville
Tastings on the Town is the Greenville County Democratic Party’s signature event of the year. Yes, it is a fundraiser. But it’s also an opportunity to come together with Democrats from across the county, from leaders to candidates to volunteers. This year, we need this community more than ever.
This year our guest speaker was Bakari Sellers, former state representative and frequent national TV political analyst. And we honored immediate past chair Amanda McDougald Scott for her years of service to our Party.
Guests enjoyed dinner and camaraderie to the jazz and soul vibes of Jamie Wright, The Artist.
Together, we are building the future—one vote, one voice, and one community at a time.
