Bramptonians get ready for the most Canadian of food festivals this fall because Poutine Feast 2019 is coming to Brampton in October

Sponsored by St. Albert’s Cheese Factory this year, Poutine Feast will take place at Chinguacousy Park from Thursday, October 3 to Sunday, October 6. Admission is free.

The hours:

  • Thursday, October 3 11am-9pm
  • Friday, October 4 11am-9pm
  • Saturday, October 5 11am-9pm
  • Sunday, October 6 11am-7pm  

Poutine Feast is Ontario’s first–ever travelling poutine festival that specializes in bringing a twist to the most favourite Canadian dish. They are a team of chip truck owners, travelling poutineries if you will, from all across the province who proactively seek out local food trucks who may want to join in whatever city they travel to with each member bringing their own take on the Canadian classic.

They launched just last year and, not surprisingly, have become really popular really quickly. Hundreds of thousands of people came out to their events across Ontario last year. In fact, at the last stop of the festival in Kingston, many trucks came really close to running out of food and needed to call in reinforcements.

endors for the Brampton Poutine Feast include the following:

  • The Upper Deck
  • BBQ Babes
  • Fat Les’s Chip Stand
  • Smokin’ R&R’s
  • Herberts Fries
  • Duffer’s Chip Stand
  • Ed’s Fries
  • Big D’s Dog House & Emporium

The dessert vendors include:

  • Mrs. Mini Donuts
