Our Favorite Things

Eat for a cause. Sample the best of the best.

All under one roof.
In Galena, it’s hard to choose just one place to be. One favorite thing. So we’ve made it easy and brought all of our favorites together in one place. Just for you.

Experience the Taste of Galena. Unique tastes. Fun samplings. Wine. Beer. Chocolate. Cheesecake. Sumptuous temptations of award-winning main dishes prepared by respected chefs. Soups. Salads. Specialties. An evening of delectable delites.

The ARC Taste of Galena is a core fundraiser for the Galena Art & Recreation Center, a not-for-profit organization that provides programs for all ages. The funds raised at the ARC Taste are included in the ARC annual operating budget and will assist with the ongoing process of balancing the budget and achieving financial security.

In 2009, the Galena Art & Recreation Center celebrated its 40th Anniversary. Forty years strong...and still growing
