Canada’s Wonderland is getting set to reopen this month after a two-year hiatus and in addition to the welcome return of several signature events, the Vaughan theme park will also be featuring a dynamic new lineup of food festivals in 2022. 

Two food festivals making a return in 2022 are the annual Brew and BBQ festival and Oktoberfest. Similar to years past, the Brew and BBQ festival (June 24-26) will feature live music, craft beers and ciders, and a menu of ribs, gourmet burgers, and barbecue chicken, while Oktoberfest (Sept. 10-11, 17-18) will offer two weekends of classic German-themed fare and performances from traditional festival bands.

The three new festivals debuting at Canada’s Wonderland this year are Taste of Portugal (Aug. 13-14), Taste of Ireland (Aug 20-21), and Taste of the Caribbean (Aug. 27-28). Each of the three two-day festivals will offer festival-goers an array of authentic food and beverage specific to each country, along with unique live performances, traditional music, dancing, and more. 

Finally, Celebration Canada (July 1-17) festival will also be returning in 2022 with a daily dose of Canadian music, street entertainment, and skills demonstrations from the West Coast Lumberjacks, followed by plenty of quintessential Canadian cuisine such as poutine, beef sliders, and butter tarts.
