Itinerary:

The Taste of Edmonton festival is an annual event where 30-40 Edmonton restaurants setup kiosks in Churchill Square to present samples of their cuisine. It is an awesome opportunity, in a very social setting, to see what kind of fare local restaurants have on offer. In addition to food, there is a beer tent and there is also entertainment. Click here for more info.

“Taste Tickets” cost $1.00 each. Entrees and desserts usually cost on average between 3-5 tickets. It would be reasonable to plan on spending about $15-20 on tickets depending on your appetite! Tickets can also be purchased in advance at a 10% discount; see the above-referenced web link for details.

Expect to spend 2-3 hours at the Taste of Edmonton festival; if there is enough interest, we will continue on to a downtown pub for a drink afterward.

Let's meet just outside Second Cup coffee shop, which is at the NW corner of the Edmonton Public Library’s downtown branch (100 Street & 102 Avenue), at 5:30pm. This is just across the street from Churchill Square.

To find me in the crowd, I will be wearing my yellow EOC baseball cap. Also please take a look at my profile pic.
