Parkdale Food, Earth and Culture Festival

Sunday, Sept. 27, 2009

12 noon – 5 pm

Masaryk Park, 220 Cowan Ave.

Greenest City is excited to announce the date of our

2nd Annual Food, Earth and Culture festival.

It will be held on Sunday, Sept. 27. Our festivals in the past have been tremendously successful, and we are building on that to bring an even bigger and more festive event in Parkdale this year.

(There is a slight possibility of rain on Sunday – if it does, most of the festival activities will move inside the community centre. We will also set tents up for free bike repairs, farmer’s market etc. outside. So even if Sunday looks dreary, please come down to the park with your family and friends. We are more than ready for it.)

Our list of performers now include:

• Baro Dununba (African drumming group),
• the Voyce, Tibetan Youth Group,
• Wu Denking (Chinese musician),
• Don Kerr (Children’s musician),
• JRock the Rapping Chef,
• Japanese and Filipino martial artists, and more.

Our culturally diverse and local food will be prepared by Tibet Kitchen, Roti Lady, Ali Baba and Greenest City staff and volunteers.

We will have a small farmer’s market for you to meet farmers and buy their locally grown produce.

Children’s activities, games, arts + crafts, bike tune-ups, Shiatsu massage tent, apple cider press, corn roasts, eco workshops and more!

It’s a packed and fun-for-all event that celebrates Parkdale, healthy food and the environment. So join us and spread the word to your family, friends and neighbours!

All of the activities above are free of charge. We are only asking for a minimum donation of $2 for a plate of our food to offset some of our costs.

So, come and join us!

If you have any questions or ideas or want to volunteer, please contact:
