Murphy Insurance was proud to sponsor and attend the Mardi Gras: Taste of the Chamber, a lively and festive community event hosted by the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce at the Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center in Marlborough, Massachusetts on February 12th.

The event brought together local restaurants, businesses, and community leaders for an evening of networking, food, and celebration inspired by the spirit of Mardi Gras. Murphy Insurance was represented by Laura and Aida, who enjoyed meeting fellow Chamber members, sampling the many delicious offerings, and taking part in the festive spirit of the evening.

A Celebration of Local Businesses

One of the highlights of the evening was the incredible lineup of local food vendors sharing their signature dishes. Guests had the opportunity to sample bites from a wide variety of restaurants and culinary businesses, including favorites such as BLVD Kitchen & Bar, Picco Pizza & Ice Cream Co., and The Buffet Way. The event also featured offerings from Alltown Fresh, which continues to expand its presence across the region with fresh food and market-style dining.
