With the change of location, Taste of Calgary promises there will be “more vendors, more food trucks, more food stands, and more entertainment for everyone to enjoy.”
Best of all, admission to Taste of Calgary is free. Visitors will be able to purchase Taste tickets for $1 apiece, which can be used to purchase sample-sized dishes from each of the vendors. Items will cost between two and eight tickets each.
Taste of Calgary is slowly unveiling its line-up of vendors, with spots such as Happy Fish, Lighthouse, and IBU set to take part so far.
