I went to Taste of the Kingsway for the first time this year and quite enjoyed it. It is happening this weekend, Sep. 11-13 (more info here: http://kingswaybia.ca/taste-of-the-kingsway). It's a good-sized festival (about the length of one subway stop), and there was lots of fun stuff going on, even in the rain.

And there were lots of freebies! Look out for these (starting from the east end):
1. Pure Leaf - iced tea
2. Rona - popcorn and yard waste bags
3. Hotel/Resort table? (I can't remember the name) - Guess what you will spin on a wheel. If you are correct, you may win Starbucks prizes or $100 off a vacation.
4. Trufood - pet food samples, coupons
5. Armstrong - cheese and grilled cheese sandwich sample, coupon
6. Coke - mini can
7. health food store - food samples

Enjoy!
