Whether you’re planning a small dinner party or a corporate team-building event in the Big Smoke, food is a guaranteed way to bring people together, and with so many catering companies combining food with large-scale cultural events, there’s no shortage of options.

It occurs each year on the lake at the Toronto Event Centre and is an unforgettable celebration of food, art, music, performance and interactive entertainment, and makes a perfect corporate event. This is a collaborative, non-profit event bringing together Toronto’s top creative and culinary minds in support of local charities, offering a true feast for the senses, and offers a great opportunity to bring colleagues together.
