Mizzou fans can enjoy an evening of local food, drinks, and Tiger football while supporting a great cause at the annual Taste of the Tigers event on Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
The signature fundraising event for The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri's Score Against Hunger campaign returns with a new location inside Memorial Stadium. This year's celebration will take place at the EquipmentShare 1926 Club in the North End Zone, offering guests a unique setting to enjoy an evening of food and Mizzou spirit.
From 5–8:30 p.m., attendees can sample bites and drinks from dozens of restaurants, breweries, and wineries across Mid-Missouri. It's an opportunity to discover local flavors while helping support neighbors facing food insecurity.
Football fans will also get a special behind-the-scenes experience as Mizzou Football Head Coach Eli Drinkwitz joins "Voice of the Tigers" Mike Kelly for a live broadcast of Tiger Talk during the event.
Throughout the evening, guests can participate in live and silent auctions featuring exclusive memorabilia, unique experiences, and gift baskets. Raffle drawings will also offer opportunities to win special prizes while contributing to the fundraising effort.
