From the hottest up-and-coming restaurants, to decades old staples, COMO Flavors is a showcase of the community's favorite restaurants across every culture and cuisine.
Enjoy mid-Missouri's Autumn weather with live music from some well-known local bands. Bring chairs or a blanket because Lakeside Ashland's yard will be set up for dining near the stage.
Columbia's small business community is abundant with unique handcrafts and wellness products, and COMO Flavors has a spotlight for them as well! From candles to clothing, jewelry, health supplements
and so much more.
If you eat food, COMO Flavors is for you.
Our mission is to host a festival inclusive of all ages and walks of life, creating memories for our patrons for decades to come.
Food from over a dozen restaurants can be purchased using ticket books (10 tickets) sold in advance or upon your arrival for $35.00
Each restaurant will sell a sample sized portion for 1 ticket, and larger portions and meals for multiple tickets
We encourage our patrons to sample as many restaurants as possible, and to return to their favorites in the weeks and months after the festival to experience everything they have to offer.
For those who simply want to enjoy the weather and listen to live music, the festival itself is free to attend, not requiring the purchase of a ticket book.
In support of community interconnectedness, we want the community's exposure to our participating restaurants, non-profits, retailers, and entertainment, to be as affordable as possible.
For that purpose, the COMO Flavors festival is free to attend regardless of any intention to purchase food.
We invite everyone from Columbia and our surrounding communities to join us on October 18th for a memorable experience suitable for all ages.
