One of Toronto’s most delicious summer traditions is returning this weekend, featuring a day of craft drinks, global bites, and community fun to one of the city’s favourite neighbourhood breweries.
Now in its third year, the Feastie TO Sip & Snack Festival has become a standout event on the city’s food calendar, celebrating some of Toronto’s best local, BIPOC, and female-owned food and drink makers. Taking place at Henderson Brewing Co., this one-day celebration offers foodies a refreshing alternative to your typical massive, overcrowded street festivals.
This weekend, you’ll find over 40 curated food and beverage vendors serving up an impressive array of international flavours. Created by award-winning hospitality expert Evelyn Chick, the festival pairs incredible culinary offerings with expertly crafted drinks. Guests can sip on signature craft cocktails, natural wines from boutique purveyors, and local brews while sampling bites designed to keep your wallet happy, with all bites priced at $15 or less.
Some of this year’s vendors include Slow Jams, Atomic Burger, Dipped Donuts, Good Behaviour, and Alfies. You can see more of their confirmed vendors on their website here.
Beyond the food and drinks, Feastie TO is packed with interactive entertainment for all ages. Attendees can drop in on 15-minute hands-on cocktail workshops led by Love of Cocktails, browse handcrafted goods at an artisanal market by The Welcome Market, or groove to live DJ sets throughout the afternoon. There is even a dedicated pup zone curated by Doggie Fest Toronto, making it a completely dog-friendly outing.
The Details
The festival runs for one day only, making it a must-visit destination for anyone looking to eat, sip, and support local makers. Admission includes entry, a souvenir sampling cup, and a drink token to kick off your day of tasting.
Feastie TO takes place at Henderson Brewing Co. (128A Sterling Rd.) on Saturday, August 22, running from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online through the official Feastie website.
