We won’t ever say no to a new food festival! This May long weekend, Sugar Beach is about to get a whole lot tastier as a brand-new culinary celebration sets up space beneath Toronto’s whimsical pink umbrellas.
The Festival of Flavours is officially making its debut on the city’s eastern waterfront from May 16 – 18, bringing a weekend of gourmet bites and refreshing drinks from all around the world to one place.

Soon, the white sands of Sugar Beach will be lined with dozens of local vendors serving up a huge variety of international cuisines. From the savory comforts of Simply Filipino and Shawafel Mediterranean Cuisine to the hearty offerings of Steak Barrels, there is something to satisfy every craving.
For those who want to try a little bit of everything without breaking the bank, the festival is also introducing a VIP Taste Pass. This program allows you to enjoy $5 tasting features at participating vendors.
It’s not just about the food; the Festival of Flavours is bringing a full sensory experience to the water’s edge. A main stage will feature a lineup of live local music, entertainment, free salsa dancing, face painting, and games.
Best of all, the festival is completely free to attend!
