Taste of Linden Hills
Each spring, the Linden Hills Neighborhood Council hosts our annual fundraiser, Taste of Linden Hills. This fun, upscale evening celebrates the amazing food in our neighborhood and raises money that we invest right back into the community through neighborhood grants, events, and other programs.
