Uniqueness
Unique and inspiring events that include food experiences with uncommon or exclusive ingredients will be sure to impress. Find events that might be invite-only or more intimate settings like long-table dinners. Check out St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino’s Long Table Series here. Many venues also provide farm-to-table experience for the freshest at heart.
Entertainment
During your foodie round-about, whether sitting or walking, it’s always nice to hear music or watch live performances. Sometimes that might just include boombox tunes being blasted from a food truck. But hey! You can break out the dance shoes wherever, right?
Fresh
If fresh produce is more your jam, discover farmer’s markets here
Activities
Sure, food might be the focus of your adventure, but you can only eat and mingle for so long. Activities like cooking demos, photo-booths, food and beverage tastings or even children’s activities make the festival memorable and enhance the experience.
Big or small?
Do you want to mingle with thousands in the heart of the city or slow down and experience small-town hospitality? Taste of Edmonton is huge! Over 60 Edmonton restaurants set up in Churchill Square offering small plate samples. Stop in every day of the ten-day event. OR, go small. One day in mid-July is Taste of Markerville in Central Alberta. Six of Alberta’s best chefs are invited to prepare delicious dishes using locally sourced ingredients for a long table dining extravaganza. Travel Alberta and Destination B.C. list events all season long that will cater to your taste buds.
