Taste of Calgary

The Taste of Calgary, the premier summer foodie festival in YYC, is returning again this summer.

Diners and food lovers of Calgary can now celebrate over five days, from August 3 to 7, with free admission, beer gardens, and some of the best grub YYC has to offer all in one place.

Guests to the event can look forward to trying tasty sample-size menu items from many of Calgary’s best restaurants, breweries, and food trucks.

The entire lineup was just released, and the restaurants, trucks, breweries, and distilleries all look amazing. All of the food dishes were revealed, and you can view the entire festival’s menu right here.

“As always, we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to celebrate the vibrant and diverse culinary scene that Calgary is known and loved for,” said Jennifer Rempel, the Taste of Calgary event producer, said in a media release.

“Adding an extra date and a larger event space has allowed us to curate a greater number of talented local restaurants, food trucks, breweries, and distilleries participating in this year’s event.”

“With an even greater lineup of International and specialty dishes, we can’t wait to showcase the exceptional culinary talent and creativity that Calgary has to offer, and we invite everyone to join us for a grand celebration of flavours, culture, and community,” added Rempel.

This outdoor event brings an energetic atmosphere every year, and we can’t wait to have it back. In addition to all of the eating and drinking, there’s also live entertainment happening onsite, featuring local bands and musicians.

This will be the same tasty event that Calgarians know in the same exciting location as last year — Calgary Parking Authority’s Lot #6. Last year was absolutely packed, so not only is there an extra day this year, but there will be 65% more space.

There are so many exciting food events coming up and this is one of the most anticipated. You don’t want to miss out on this one.
