2025 Marks the Seventh Annual A Taste of Cy-Fair Event
The Taste of Cy-Fair board is thrilled to announce the return of A Taste of Cy-Fair on October 25, 2025, at the Bridgeland Village Center in Cypress, Texas. Guests can choose from General or VIP admissions and enjoy an evening filled with the finest flavors from dozens of local restaurants, celebrating the very best of Cy-Fair and Houston’s vibrant culinary scene.
Attendees will enjoy mouthwatering samples of dishes and treats from favorites like Alicia’s Mexican Grille, Connie’s Ice Cream, Dario’s Steakhouse & Seafood, Tiff’s Treats, Dolce Tentación, Creekwood Grill, Galiana’s Tex Mex & Agave Bar, Graze Craze, Tejas Burger Joint, BJ’s Restaurant Brewhouse, Whataburger, For Heaven’s Cake, R & R Crafthouse Grill, Fogo de Chão, Marvino’s Italian Steakhouse, Via 313 Pizzeria, The Backyard Grill, and many more.
In addition to the incredible food, guests can also sip on a wide variety of wines and sample dozens of craft beers. The event will feature live music, with Randy Hulsey performing on the main stage and Nate Gordon setting the vibe in the VIP area.
In 2017, A Taste of Cy-Fair was launched to support those impacted by Hurricane Harvey, and it has since grown and evolved. “Now in our seventh year, it’s inspiring to see how A Taste of Cy-Fair has become more than just a food and wine festival. It’s truly a celebration of community spirit,” said Robin Beattie, owner of Squeaky Wheel Restaurant Marketing and one of the founding board members. “The generosity of our partners and attendees continues to push us forward, allowing us to raise more for Cy-Hope each year.”
Since its launch in 2017, A Taste of Cy-Fair has grown into a tremendous success, raising approximately $20,000 in its first year, $40,000 in 2018, more than $50,000 in 2019, over $50,000 again in 2022, a record-breaking $75,880 in 2023, and $66,000 in 2024—all in support of Cy-Hope, with only 2020 and 2021 disrupted by the pandemic. Mark McShaffry, owner of Backyard Grill and Creekwood Grill and a founding board member, reflected on the event’s journey: “When we began in 2017, we simply hoped to bring people together after hardship. Today, it’s grown into one of Cy-Fair’s signature events, filled with energy, generosity, and purpose. Every year, I’m amazed at the way local businesses, restaurants, and residents rally together to make it unforgettable.” Looking ahead to 2025, McShaffry highlighted the crucial support from sponsors Jake’s Finer Foods, Stellar Bank, and High Tech Machinery. “Their support makes all the difference,” he added. “We’re determined to build on last year’s success and make an even greater impact for Cy-Hope.”
The Cy-Hope mission is to make life better for all kids in Cy-Fair and the surrounding communities. They have nine programs to support their mission and consistently make a difference in the community. “A Taste of Cy-Fair is proof of what can happen when a community comes together,” said Megan Ausmus of Cy-Hope. “Every ticket purchased, every bite enjoyed, and every donation made goes directly toward changing the lives of children. We’re so grateful for the continued support and can’t wait to welcome everyone on October 25th to celebrate food, friends, and giving back.”
The seventh annual A Taste of Cy-Fair will once again be organized and executed by dedicated volunteers. “This year feels especially exciting,” said Kristen Grider of Grupo Herrera Restaurants, a founding board member. “We’ve worked hard to make sure the 2025 event is fresh, dynamic, and filled with surprises that attendees will love.”
A Taste of Cy-Fair provides both General Admission tickets and an exclusive VIP experience. The VIP package includes early entry, access to a private tent, premium food, wines, and beers, dedicated entertainment, special seating areas, and a goodie bag, among other perks. “Our VIP experience is designed to be something truly special each year, and 2025 will be no exception,” said Kristen Grider. “We always encourage everyone to secure their tickets early because the excitement around this event keeps growing—and tickets do sell out.”
