A huge food festival is returning to Etobicoke this weekend, featuring a weekend packed with local vendors, live entertainment, and family activities.
RELISH The Foodie Event takes over Cloverdale Mall from September 18 to 20, 2026, and it will be bigger and better than ever to mark the shopping centre’s 70th anniversary.
Featuring over 50 local food tents, trucks, and artisan vendors, attendees will get to try everything from handcrafted goods to iconic local creations.
New to the festival this year is the RELISH Bites program, giving visitors the chance to sample exclusive $10 mini-dishes from participating vendors before voting for their favourite to win the title of Most RELISHed Bite of 2026.
Whether you’re stopping by to sip handcrafted cocktails at the open-air Sip & RELISH garden, looking to try your hand at a tote bag sip-and-paint workshop with Pinot’s Palette, or eager to snag one of 500 free birthday cupcakes handed out each day, this community gathering offers endless ways to celebrate.
Beyond the endless culinary treats, the event doubles as a charity effort with Second Harvest. Proceeds from interactive Tim Hortons family activations, like donut decorating and a giant donut ring toss game, will help support local food rescue initiatives, alongside a weekend 50/50 draw and surplus food donations.
The 2026 RELISH Foodie Event will run at Cloverdale Mall from Friday, September 18 to Sunday, September 20, 2026, with the full schedule and vendor list available online.
