The award-winning vendors are in town until Sunday night and serve all kinds of savory dishes from the country.
There are few better ways to celebrate Canada Day than by enjoying one of the tastiest and most traditional foods in the country.
Presented by the Downtown Association and the Ermatinger Clergue National Historic Site, Poutine Feast made its long-awaited return to Bay Street as residents flocked out en masse to sample some of the best poutines in the country.
While the combination of chips, sauce and cottage cheese will always remain a classic, Poutine Feast aims to expand your palate by offering hundreds of variations of Canada’s iconic dish.
From gourmet selections with pork and slow-roasted lobster, to vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, the festival is guaranteed to have something for everyone.
The origin of poutine has been debated, but it is believed that it first appeared in rural snack bars in Quebec in the 1950s. The dish has grown considerably in popularity since the turn of the century and is a mainstay of the Canadian restaurant culture.
Next to Poutine Feast, Old Stone House celebrates Canada Day with many fun activities such as giant games, live entertainment and a beer garden in the garden. There are also several local vendors.
The Putin Festival takes place today and tomorrow from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday, July 3 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
