Save the Date: Taste of Italy 2027 is Coming!

Mark your calendars! Home for Good Dog Rescue’s signature spring event is returning for its 17th Annual Taste of Italy on Saturday, March 6, 2027.

After last year’s event completely SOLD OUT, we are back and bigger than ever with a major upgrade for 2027.

A New Venue for a Bigger, Better Night

To make room for even more supporters and bring you an upgraded event experience, we are moving to a spacious new home: the Kenilworth VFW in Kenilworth, NJ. Doors open at 5:30 PM.

Bigger Prizes, Unbeatable Excitement

Get ready for an extraordinary evening featuring:

  • Our Giant Tricky Tray & 50/50 Raffle: Bid on high-end electronics, luxury gift baskets, designer accessories, and exclusive local experiences.

  • Delicious Italian Feast: Enjoy a four-course buffet-style dinner served alongside a cash bar with beer, wine, and sangria.

  • Life-Saving Impact: Every ticket directly supports our mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome deserving dogs.

Ticket Pricing & Early Bird Access

  • Adult Admission: $60 (Includes full Italian dinner and cash bar access)

  • Child Admission (Under 12): $20

Don’t get locked out! Because Taste of Italy sold out so quickly last year, we are opening up early access so you can lock in your seats right now before general promotion begins.
