This is a taco lover's dream festival.  We get to take our taco-eating skills to an entirely new level and love every minute of it, all for free.

For the first time since May 2019, Taco Tour Manchester will shut down Elm Street on Thursday evening, May 5, so we can eat the night away.

Let the salivating begin, as I'm sure it has for the 30,000 people expected to stroll up and down Elm Street in downtown Manchester eating as many tacos as they can, according to the Manchester Chamber.
