of exotic cuisine from regions like the Mediterranean, North Africa,
Asia and North America – all represented by over fifty of the
Calgary’s best restaurants and beverage companies.
At
Taste of Calgary guests can spice things up with great foods, cool
drinks and fantastic entertainment. Festival-goers purchase Taste
Sampling Tickets for .75 cents each right at the event, and use them
to buy any of the food or beverage menu items at the festival.
Everything is sample-sized, including the prices. Every menu item
is 5 tickets or less. Admission to the festival is free and
includes a sampling of Calgary’s extraordinary local entertainers -
live on the Starbuck’s Stage.
Size up
your appetite with some zesty zing and seek out something new . . .
Bateta Chaamps (North Africa), Ater Kik
Alicha (Ethiopia), Nigiri Pair (Japan) or, Giouvetsi
(Greece). And, if you’re looking for something more familiar,
there’s plenty of pizzazz in the infamous colossal BBQ Beef Ribs,
the Bow Valley Bison Burger, Jerk Chicken and the People’s Choice
favourite, Butter Chicken.
Sample some sippers like the Piñatomic Colada Shake,
Tangerine Frappuccino, Kahlua Chillaccino, or one of over 40 craft
beers from local and international craft brewers.
Save
some room for the most scrumptious sweets like Pralines, Strawberry
Twist or Deep Fried Raspberry Ale Gelato.
