In Texas, tailgating is more than just a get-together in a parking lot — it’s a lifestyle.

CultureMap is celebrating this autumnal season of sports with The Tailgate, an all-out party devoted to a favorite Texas pastime.

It all goes down on October 27 at Silver Street Studios.

Expect chef-driven food, innovative beverages, game-day activities, live entertainment, and more at this signature event, which shows major love for all kinds of sports and the fans who cheer them on.

Along with a variety of other local restaurants, the following Tastemaker Award-winning restaurants and chefs will create tailgate-inspired dishes for you to sample and vote for your favorite:

• d'Alba Craft Kitchen & Cocktails, 2022 Tastemaker Awards Best New Restaurant

And your favorite athletes might just be there as well, shining a spotlight on the sports-related nonprofits they support and giving you the chance to pitch in and make a difference for the causes they champion.
