Good news! Your favourite neighbourhood event is back. Taste of Wellington West will be taking place Saturday, September 15, 2012, from 11 am to 5 pm.
We want to share all of the day’s details with you, but we’re still working out some of the kinks with our brand spankin’ new website. So we’re giving you the run down here, on our blog. You can also download a PDF version of our program by clicking here: Taste of Wellington West 2012 Program
During Taste of Wellington West, all our great restaurants, shops, and services will be showing off all day, offering demos and tasty treats, and taking part in a massive, street-long sidewalk sales.
We’ve also got some great entertainment lined up, starting off with popular kids’ band Hey Buster! at 11 am in the Elmdale/Hintonburger parking lot. Throughout the day, bands including Reverb Syndicate, Crown Vic, Still Dangerous, Tall Trees, and The Fenton Brothers Band (featuring Uncle Bob from FabGear 64!) will be playing, alongside a great group of street performers. There will also be two Pop-Up Playgrounds (in the lots at Rosemount and Wellington St W, and Mayfair and Wellington St W), offering a great place to bring your little ones to play.
Over 80 area businesses are participating in the day’s event. You can see a full list of them in the event’s program. As a special note, there are two businesses that have just confirmed their participation. Welcome to Petit Bill’s Bistro and ListenUP Canada!
