Awards & Events

Western Canada’s largest outdoor food festival has returned to Sir Winston Churchill Square, transforming the heart of downtown Edmonton into a scintillating culinary extravaganza. Running through July 26, 2026, the Taste of Edmonton features over 50 restaurants and food trucks, offering an embarrassment of gastronomic riches for attendees.

Lovely Latin Flavours

The insistent summer heat makes vibrant Latin delectables particularly appealing. Reviewers highlight the Tequila Lime Chicken Taco from 3 Amigos Authentic Mexican Cuisine and the impeccably flaky La Chorizo Quesos from Pebre & Co. as absolute must-tries. The classic Pork and Cheese Pupusa from Paraiso Tropical, paired with a fresh red sauce, provides a superlative flavor profile that perfectly defines the festival's communal spirit.

"I would easily say if you nabbed these three items and a nice flavoured lemonade you would have the perfect meal, priming you for a sweet siesta in the shade!" — Festival Reviewer

Fried Finds and Messy Delights

Greatness often demands sacrifice, especially for chefs standing over boiling vats of oil in the summer sun. The Sausage Mozza Corn Dog from Gangnam Street Food and the innovative Bannock Taco from Kokom’s Bannock Kitchen showcase ingenious comfort food. Meanwhile, messy but undeniably delicious fare like the Egg Drop Sandwich from Gentea and the Yummy Brisket Arepa from Yummy Mami prove that the juice is truly worth the squeeze, even if it requires a few extra napkins.
