And it begins: Taste of Tiger Tailgating kicks off the season

The sponsors are calling it “the biggest tailgate party of the year,” but it’s more accurate to call it the biggest tailgate party downtown. The fifth-annual Taste of Tiger Tailgating launches the season with plenty of food and prizes. 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23. Tickets are $20 and available through ticketmaster.com.
