In addition, several local breweries and distilleries will be at the event to provide tastings. Beer tastings will be provided by Fanatic Brewing; Seven Springs Farm will be offering wine tastings; Sugarlands Distilling Company will have moonshine to sample; and Postmodern Spirits will be providing tastes of some of their vodkas, gins, and whiskeys.

There will be live music from local bands throughout the evening, from the funky sounds of Peacemill, to Wives and the award-winning band Danger Noodle.
Special guest Sinan the squirrel will be available for pictures for a donation to United Way of Anderson County, the press release said. This year, Taste of Anderson County is also debuting a Super Smash Brothers tournament courtesy of D-Man’s Repair, the release said.
