Taste of Orangeville returns to downtown

August 18, 2016   ·   0 Comments

There is no shortage of events to keep everyone on their toes with something to do this weekend.

Friday night, Downtown Orangeville will come alive with the sounds of music during its annual Great Taste Fashion Show, followed by great food and incredible treats during the Woolwhich Dairy Taste of Orangeville on Saturday.

Mill Street will be closed Friday evening to make way for an incredible evening of entertainment and access to the latest and greatest in fashion, featuring a Merchant Marketplace for those in attendance.

“Enjoy the company of friends and some delicious treats while you view new fall fashions showcased by downtown boutiques,” the Orangeville BIA wrote in a recent press release.

This year marks the third year of the fashion event, which has grown in popularity since it’s inception. The even runs from 6:00-9:30 p.m. and tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door, and include delicious tasters.

According to the BIA, the first 100 people to arrive will also receive a free Great Taste Swag Bag for attending. Tickets to the event are available at participating retailers or online at DowntownOrangeville.ca.

On Saturday, the party continues as Orangeville’s heritage downtown welcomes the community, featuring the best the town has to offer in local shopping and food.

“Indulge yourself with something special and work up an appetite for the Woolwich Dairy Taste of Orangeville, located under the big white tent on Mill Street.”

Tastings will be provided by multiple local restaurants, as well as the event’s premiere sponsor, Woolwich Dairy and Saputo Inc., who will be offering tastings of their fine cheese products.

“Under the tent you’ll find Orangeville’s best restaurants offering fantastic tasting menus, including delicious items featuring locally produced goat cheese. Live music and extended patios round out the local experience.”

The event is a must-see for those who have never been, and a must-return for those who have been before. Each year, the Taste of Orangeville draws in more than 1000 guests, who have the opportunity to experience some of the incredible restaurants and businesses the town has.

Tickets for tastings are sold on-site during the event, from 11 a.m. onwards. Although the event runs until 4, food ticket sales will cease at 3:00.  Tickets are $1 each, and tastings are offered for one, two, or three tickets. The event has a $2 entrance fee, and children 5 and under are free.

“The Great Taste Fashion Show and Taste of Orangeville are events that you won’t want to miss, so clear your schedules on August 19th and 20th, and come Downtown for a weekend of exceptional fashion and fantastic food.”
