MANCHESTER, NH – Taco Tour Manchester, an event by the Greater Manchester Chamber, presented by Dartmouth Health, Delta Dental, and the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, will return to Downtown Manchester, NH on Thursday, May 28, 2026, from 4-8 p.m. EST.
Taco Tour Manchester welcomes more than 20,000 attendees each year for an evening of $3 tacos, live music, and community activity throughout downtown Manchester. This year, four attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the event’s VIP Tour experience. Taco Tour Manchester 2026 is giving away four seats on the exclusive VIP Tour, and anyone can enter the drawing. Two community members will be selected at random and can choose a guest to join them on their tour experience!
The VIP Tour is a guided experience through downtown Manchester featuring stops at participating Greater Manchester Chamber member restaurants. VIP guests skip the lines, have their tacos included, meet local restaurateurs, and sample beverages along the route. The tour offers attendees a structured way to experience Taco Tour Manchester and visit several participating locations throughout the evening.
This year, for the first time, four of those coveted seats are being given away to the community. To enter, visit www.tacotourmanchester.com/contests.
