For those wishing that Toronto’s summer festival season lasted a bit longer, there’s a brand-new outdoor food and drink festival happening in North York next weekend that will feature more than 50 diverse vendors.
The inaugural Taste of North York Festival is set to take over Mel Lastman Square from Friday, Sept. 8 to Sunday Sept. 10, with the goal of showcasing North York’s diverse culinary offerings.
“The event will feature a massive open-air food market with more than 50 diverse food and drink vendors and more than 500 menu items,” said Sebastian Biasucci, Marketing & Event Manager at NeighbourLink North York. “On Sept. 9, NeighbourLink is hosting the ‘Meet & Eat’ where participants can engage with over 20 local charities, non-profits, cultural organizations and clubs including the North York Senior Centre, The Neighbourhood Group and more,” NeighbourLink North York said in a press release.
“The Toronto Underground Jazz Festival will also have a pop up performance area at the East End of the Square,” the release continued. “There will be live art, face painting, trivia and plenty of other family friendly activities to enjoy over the course of the three-day festival.” “There will be designated community meal times at 2 p.m., 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. and we’re hoping to get people to engage with icebreaker questions and talk with other attendees. This is also a charity event with the net profits supporting NeighbourLink's food bank and community care programs that support the most vulnerable in our community.”
