Eat, Drink and Celebrate Canada on August 3rd For Food Day Canada

Venues across Canada are lighting up for Canada Day and you can shine your own light on Canadian Food with a home celebration or meal out on this year’s Food Day Canada!  A location in every region of Canada from the Confederation Centre in St. John’s to Niagara Falls to BC Place to the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre in Whitehorse will be illuminated Red and White in praise of our farmers, fishers, chefs and great Canadian cuisine! (BC Place lights up on August 1, 2019).

What’s Happening? Canadians are invited to come together to enjoy and celebrate food and their wonderful stories – in person and online on Food Day Canada! Just cook a meal, eat something Canadian, or go out and eat at one of the participating restaurants.

Who? Anyone and everyone who loves Canadian ingredients. Chefs, home cooks, farmers, ranchers, fishers, writers, winemakers, brewers, food processors, researchers, just plain old hungry people…everyone is invited!

When? ALL Day Saturday August 3, 2019

Where? Anywhere and everywhere. Backyard barbecues, picnics, potlucks, dine in, dine out. Enjoy Canadian-grown, Canadian-made food and drinks.
