Food and Art - what a beautiful combination: Celebrate the delicious diversity of Headwaters region's food, drink and creativity this Father's Day weekend with tasting stations and art activities throughout the Alton Mill's open art studios and galleries.
Award-Winner : Last year's Cuisine-Art was named a finalist for Ontario's Culinary Tourism Event of the Year and a Top 100 Festival in Ontario. This year's edition (June 20-21) has evolved with new activities and participants to make it even better. Click to view a short video of the event.
Non-stop entertainment: The Main Stage features chef demos, live jazz, cook-offs and artist paint-offs. Learn about fly-fishing and beekeeping. Then try your hand at painting with beeswax in Andrea Bird's encaustic studio. Or watch potter Ann Randeraad, accompanied by a live goat, turn goat cheese into pottery!
Thrill of the grill: In honour of Father's Day, we've added a special "Bro-B-Q" and beer tent, featuring signature offerings, hot off the grill from Speers Farms Amaranth. Enjoy a bite and a brew while listening to live jazz.
Treat yourself: Your ticket includes unlimited access to food tasting stations, your first three samples of fine wine, craft beer or premium cider, and access to all entertainment. The cash bar and cash BBQ menu will be available all weekend. Art workshops and the Good Things Marketplace complete the day. Rain or shine - all sampling stations are indoors and the main stage and other outdoor activitiies are under tents.
Tickets $35 at the gate. Additional drink sampling tickets can be purchased for $2.50 each (5 tickets for $10). For more information or to see the schedule...
