Welland has had great success in the past with Food Festivals, and our city has become a lot more developed and active.

So, because of this we are bringing TWO DAYS of Entertainment; gathering our community through great food, music and drinks, while providing that comfortable Old School Feeling, from reconnecting good friends and childhood memories!

There will be as many as 29 food and wine vendors serving a wide variety food and beverage options so there’s going to be something for everyone!

  • Pizza and wings
  • Ribs
  • Italian
  • Vegan
  • Chinese
  • Columbian
  • Poutine
  • Indian
  • Mexican
  • Treats - Chocolate
  • Churros
  • Filipino

In addition to the mouth watering food options, there will also be a full showcase of musical acts to set the mood and keep you entertained.

We couldn’t think of a more perfect setting to bring this event back than beautiful Merritt Island where the original Welland Foodfest first got its start.
