TCC Guide to Food & Drink Festivals in Toronto This Summer
Summer in Toronto signifies festival season, and although it’s been pretty up and down with the weather lately, nothing will keep Torontonians from eating and drinking outside. Not to mention, we’ve got so much to celebrate over the last week or so: we’ve finally got some warmer(ish) weather, the Raptors took home an NBA championship title, and it’s Father’s Day today! It’s such a great time to share with you some of the food & drink festivals that I’m so looking forward to attending this summer. Whether you’re heading out to Ontario Place for the last day of Taco Fest, or biding your time until Taste of the Danforth in August, there’s a food & drink festival with options for ever palate and dietary restriction. Check out the lists below for my most noteworthy fests for summer 2019!
