Three days at Harbourfront Centre. 100+ food and product vendors, cooking demonstrations, speakers, and kids' activities. Free admission.
Pro Tips
Come hungry and bring cash. Try the international food vendors — the Ethiopian, Korean, and Mexican vegan options are standouts. Small portions from multiple vendors is the way to go.
