A travelling group of poutine enthusiasts had such a good time in Renfrew last year, they’re ready to make it an annual tradition.
Poutine Feast, Canada’s largest touring poutine festival, returns for a second four-day visit to the Renfrew Visitor Information Centre on Mask Road starting this Thursday, April 24th, featuring plenty of fun, games, music, and, of course, Canada’s iconic dish.
It’s part of the opening leg of Poutine Feast’s Ontario’s 2025 tour through the province, which once again kicked off at the Petawawa Civic Centre earlier this month.
The community is welcome to drop by to enjoy classic and original takes on poutine from award-winning chip trucks or be a part of the festivities by setting up shop as a vendor, volunteer, or sponsor.
The fun gets underway this Thursday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., as well as 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.
If you miss out on this weekend, Poutine Feast will be back in the Valley this September when they make a four-day stop inside Arnprior’s Robert Simpson Park.
