Taste of Florham Park - Florham Park Rotary

EVENT DATE AND TIME

  Monday, May 19, 2025

  6:00-8:00 PM

  MANSION tours scheduled starting at 5:30pm

The TASTE OF FLORHAM PARK is the annual festive food extravaganza that benefits the Florham Park Rotary Scholarship Fund.  Net proceeds reward Florham Park students who have a record of community volunteerism and who attend any local high school as Seniors.  

Florham Park’s eating establishments graciously provide samples of their best dishes.   Local purveyors of fine wine, beer and spirits greet guests with samples of their offerings, as do other local merchants. The Taste is a must attend party for food and fun lovers. It is a celebration of the best of Florham Park and an opportunity to enjoy the evening with family and friends – and neighbors – at a historic mansion.  The Vanderbilt-Twombly Mansion was a home for Florence Vanderbilt Twombly and Hamilton Twombly for decades before becoming the FDU administrative building in 1958.
