Taste of Suwanee, the city's annual belly-busting tradition, returns this weekend.

Festivities will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday at Town Center Park, located at the corner of Buford Highway and Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road. More than 30 local restaurants are expected to participate in the event, which traditionally draws upwards of 9,000 people.

Live music and a "kids zone" will also be offered -- as well as plenty of screens showing the day's big college football games.

Admission is free but food sample tickets are 50 cents each.

Parking is also free and, in addition to the Town Center Park lots, will be available at nearby Shadowbrook Baptist Church, 4187 Suwanee Dam Road.

A shuttle will be provided.
