Taste of Liberty event returns this weekend to showcase local flavors
LIBERTY TWP., Ohio (WKBN) – An event celebrating the collaboration of community is making its return in Trumbull County.
The third annual Taste of Liberty event is happening Saturday at Liberty High School from 4 to 5:30 p.m.
Various restaurants and businesses along Belmont Avenue come together to create a cultural feast. Plus, entertainment will be provided by Liberty students.
'I'd like to think it's anyone from Howland, Boardman and Canfield that maybe doesn't come up this way very often, they might want to come and try the huge variety of food that Liberty has to offer and maybe make this a destination for them to come by later down the road,' said Elaine Jacobs, with the Liberty School Alumni Association.
Money raised from the event will go back to the schools.
The event also gives restaurants in Liberty greater exposure.
'Be a part of the things that help the community run. You know, the football teams, the sporting events and events like this that bring people who maybe have no reason to come over here to see what we have to offer,' said Jason Sharpe, owner of Shakers Bar and Grill.
Tickets for the event are $25.

Book gives Youngstown residents a voice
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — Youngstown history is always a good read. 'Car bombs to Cookie Tables' is a collection of stories put together by Youngstown native Jacqueline Marino. There's one essay on cookie tables, and a little talk about car bombs. It's a collection of essays, poems and pictures that lets Youngstown residents tell the true story of what living here is like. Ed O'Neill is among the people who share their perspectives in the book. It came out in 2015 and was updated in 2020. 'Because I feel like a lot of people do have their own stories, their own Youngstown stories, that might just not have figured out how to tell them yet,' Marino said. 'And all of the writers in this book, they have all gone the distance. They have all gotten that bit of inspiration and carried it all the way through to a written essay.' 'Car Bombs to Cookie Tables' is available at bookstores or online. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
