One of Norfolk County’s most anticipated spring events, Eat & Drink Norfolk, is coming April 9-11.
Hosted by the Norfolk County Agricultural Society, the three-day event features local restaurants, food producers, wineries, breweries - 22 in total - and live musical entertainment, all under one roof at the CIBC AUD, Norfolk County Fairgrounds, 172 South Drive, Simcoe.
Presented by CIBC Private Wealth, Eat & Drink Norfolk is one of the Top 100 Festivals in Ontario. It runs Thursday, April 9, 5-9 p.m.; Friday, April 10, 5-11 p.m.; and Saturday, April 11, 3-11 p.m.
Advance tickets are available online through links at www.norfolkagsociety.com/eat-and-drink-norfolk/
Advance tickets are $16 for Thursday ($18 at the door), $18 for Saturday ($20 at the door), and $18 for Saturday ($20 at the door).
Reserved Seating
Reserved seating is available Friday and Saturday evenings, and it always sells out. This add-on gives your group a dedicated table for the night. Each table seats six guests and provides a ‘home base’ while you sip, sample, and explore. Admission purchased separately.
Digital tasting tokens can also be purchased in advance.
Digital Tasting Tokens
To make the experience even smoother for guests and vendors, Eat & Drink Norfolk will feature a digital token system for all tastings. Tokens can be purchased in advance (recommended) or during the event and used at all event vendors. The system is designed to keep lines moving and make it easy for guests to explore, sample, and enjoy more of what Norfolk has to offer.
There will be cards to purchase that will house digital tokens for those not using their phones.
Entertainment
On stage Friday are Felicia McMinn and Brad Hailz. Saturday’s live entertainment is Brousseau & Co. and Fiddlestix. Paul Mallard and the Jesse Murphy Band will be on stage Sunday.
New This Year – Mini Market
New this year, the event will feature a Mini Market, giving guests the opportunity to purchase products from participating market vendors and take a taste of Norfolk home. From artisan foods to locally crafted beverages and specialty items, the Mini Market will highlight the producers who help define Norfolk’s culinary identity. Food, beverage or food product vendors interested in participating should contact eatanddrink@norfolkagsociety.com
