Fall Festivals You Can’t Miss in the GTA!

If I ask any of my friends what their favourite season is, at least half of them would say the Fall.  I find it interesting that this season is disproportionately the favourite - considering that we have all four seasons in this part of the world, and I would think that the warmth and newness of Spring, the heat of Summer, and even the snow in Winter would all be equally good candidates.  Most people I speak to say that they enjoy the nice temperatures, the beautiful changing colours of the leaves, and that it feels like a new year with kids going back to school and adults back to work after summer vacation.  Another great thing about Fall is all the amazing Fall festivals that exist in our area.  We thought we’d do a roundup of some of our favourite ones, and of course we’ll be there with Red Cap putting “flavour first, heat second" and offering samples to spice up any meal you grab from a food truck or local maker.

After a huge success in 2024 with over 40,000 visitors, Trinbago is returning to Toronto with big Caribbean heat. This event will have amazing Trinidad and Tobago cuisine, and cultural performances. Tons of vendors will be serving up authentic Trini cuisine that go great with our Peppa Sauce. Best part is free admission and perfect for all ages. Make sure to swing by that weekend to enjoy some island vibes.

Vegandale

Vegandale is North America’s fastest-growing vegan festival with over 100 vendors from across the continent. Expect an epic spread of everything from mouth watering meals like plant-based burgers to sweet treats like cinnamon buns with cookie dough. There will also be live music, art installations and a vibrant vegan atmosphere. It’s an amazing event for those following a plant based diet, the plant-curious, and anyone looking for a good time!
