I'm particularly happy to hear that the good people from Beau's will be making the trek down the 401 to attend, as will members from Heritage Brewery, two eastern Ontario breweries that we don't see too much of here at Toronto events. Last years festival featured 10 breweries; however, the event turned out to be such a success that most booths went dry early. To help rectify that issue the organizers have added some more breweries, bumping the number of participants up to 16.
The meat will once again be provided by Mario Pingue of Niagara Speciality Meats who did an amazing job last year carving up the delicious pigs. There will also be vegetarian options for those who cannot stomach the awesomeness of the swine.
The live entertainment portion of the evening will feature performances by Bonjay’s, Alanna Stuart, who will be the headliner of the night. There will also be the rising band, Everything All The Time, and DJ Grahm Zilla from Thunderheist.
Bonjay “hands-down one of the city’s most enrapturing performers.”
