See you on Sunday!

Join us in celebrating the season's bounty! For the fifth year in a row, we're putting the spotlight on local growers, ranchers, fishers and artisans so gather your friends and family and prepare for the tastiest day of the year.

The Picnic will once again provide a virtual tour of the culinary regions of Southern Ontario—so taste the terroir of our foodshed and eat your way through the province.

Over the past four years, the Picnic at the Brick Works has delighted more than 1,500 guests in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. Slow Food Toronto chefs, and Ontario vintners and brewers, stand in solidarity with the farmers who support us all.

Admission covers entry and all food and drinks during the event.

All revenue from the event will ensure farmers and producers are paid fairly for their labour. For Evergreen, proceeds will fund children’s food gardens and cooking workshops. For Slow Food Toronto, the funds support learning gardens, and connect consumers to local, sustainable food producers.

They're here! Check out the Chefs and Restaurants, Producers and Vintners and Brewers taking part this year!

Get to know some of this year's participants, on our blog and find out how you can support local food systems.
