Brighton Center's Taste of the Northside 2025: A "Fiesta for All"

San Antonio, Texas, April 8, 2025 — Brighton Center is excited to announce that its 24th annual Taste of the Northside will take place on Thursday, May 1, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 10:30 PM at the beautiful new venue, The Rock at La Cantera. Presented by H-E-B, this official Fiesta San Antonio event promises a night of culinary excellence while raising vital funds for children with disabilities and developmental delays throughout San Antonio.

“As we gather to celebrate food and community, each smile, taste, and moment at Taste of the Northside 2025 embodies our mission at Brighton Center—creating an inclusive community where all children can reach their full potential,” says Katrina Campbell, CEO of Brighton Center. “By uniting San Antonio’s top culinary talents in this extraordinary venue, we’re not only creating an unforgettable Fiesta experience but also generating crucial resources that support therapy, education, and advocacy programs for countless local families.”

A Mission-Driven Celebration

The Rock at La Cantera serves as a stunning backdrop for this mission-driven celebration, supporting over 4,000 children each year. The funds raised from Taste of the Northside 2025 will enable Brighton Center to provide essential early intervention services for children from birth to age six, foster inclusive preschool environments, and offer comprehensive family support—all regardless of a family’s financial circumstances. By doing so, we ensure every child has access to life-changing services at the most pivotal time in their development.
