Sip, Sample and Savour the best of Stratford's culinary
and arts culture celebrating our chefs, Perth
County farmers, food artisans and the Stratford
Chefs School every September.
Join us in September 2010 for two days of outdoor
concerts, BBQs, and arts and craft shows nestled
between the downtown heritage
district in the heart of Stratford's beautiful
garden district and the Avon River. (2010 dates
to be announced.)
Enjoy all the Best of Perth County on Saturday. Cultivating good food since 1832, over 35 Perth County artisanal food makers will create a one-of-a-kind outdoor farmers market set along the banks of the Avon River. Local artisanal cheeses, breads, preserves, sausages and meats combined with fresh local fruits and vegetables will entice gourmet food lovers. Local artists and craftspeople will complement the day devoted to featuring the best of Perth County. Up the hill, legendary Perth County pork will be sizzling on outdoor BBQs all afternoon long with free outdoor concerts by county musicians.
On Sunday afternoon join us for a bucolic afternoon of al fresco grazing at the York Street Tasting which will pair over 30 local chefs, including visiting alumni of the Stratford Chefs School, with 30 Perth County farmers. Sample gourmet creations, Ontario wines and craft beers, complemented by the sounds of jazz under lounging tents set upon historic York Street.
