Dine About Mid-Island is a celebration of the incredible food, people and culinary experiences that make our region special. Each winter, we bring together local restaurants, culinary businesses and community partners to inspire people to get out, explore and support local.
Whether you're a restaurant creating a special festival menu, a culinary business hosting a unique experience, or a supporter joining us for our launch party, there are three ways to be part of Dine About 2027.
Explore the opportunities below and find the right fit for your business.
Restaurants and eligible food-service businesses are invited to create a special Dine About menu that gives guests a delicious reason to visit. Showcase your signature dishes, introduce something new, or highlight seasonal ingredients and local flavours.
Participating businesses benefit from festival-wide promotion, an opportunity to reach new customers, and a place in a regional celebration of our culinary community.
Feature Menu Information & Registration
Dine About extends beyond restaurant tables. We welcome proposals from culinary businesses, producers, retailers, venues and other food-focused organizations interested in offering a special experience during the festival.
Think tastings, workshops, cooking demonstrations, farm experiences, food pairings, chef collaborations and more. Have an idea for a collaboration? We'd love to hear it.
There is no cost to participate in the Events & Experiences program. Approved experiences can be listed through Dine About's promotional platforms and amplified through social media collaborations and other marketing opportunities, as available.
Events & Experiences Expression of Interest
