A Weekend for foodies in Midland Ontario
Consider a “foodie
weekend” trip north of Toronto to experience the hospitality of Midland Ontario
on the shores of Georgian Bay. Two
events are highlighted including Books2Eat at the Midland Public Library and
the Sweetwater Festival (celebrating maple syrup) at the Wye Marsh. Midland Ontario is easily
accessible via Highway 400 to Highway 93 or Highway 12 north of Barrie.
"Books2Eat" Festival April 7
Foodies can play with food
and eat it too! After a very successful first
year, the Books2Eat
event is an event where local chefs create scrumptious treats inspired by
their favourite books, is taking place at the Midland Public Library on April
7. Attendees vote for their favourite
dish and enjoy eating the rest. There will be lots of food, music and
entertainment. This is a great way to fuel your family's love for books, fresh
food and fun! This event is international in its origin and is celebrating the April 1st birthday of French gastronome Jean-Anthelme
Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), famous for his book Physiologie du goût, a witty
meditation on food. Celebrate food and eat your words as the "books"
are consumed on the day of the event. Books2Eat
International is also celebrated in many North American communities during
April.
Sweetwater Harvest Festival April 6-April 7
Sweetwater
Harvest Festival 2013 includes
an all day pancake breakfast with fresh maple syrup. Old and modern maple syrup
harvesting and production will be demonstrated. Enjoy the wildlife of the Marsh
along with animal demonstrations. Horse drawn wagon rides and live folk music
highlight the festival. Also the Trumpeter Swans will be searching for mates
and territory with lots of ’spring honking'.
Foodies will get their maple
syrup fix at the Sweetwater Festival.
