Foodville Fest 2026 Is Bringing African, Caribbean and Afro-Latin Flavours to Toronto
If you’re looking for a Toronto food festival that comes with a side of live music, culture and serious summer energy, Foodville Fest 2026 should be on your radar. The festival returns on August 22, 2026, with a new home at Lamport Stadium and a full day of food, music and community.
Foodville celebrates African, Caribbean and Afro-Latin culture through local food vendors, craft offerings, live performances, DJs, chef showcases and more. The 2026 edition also marks a bigger year for the festival, with more vendors and expanded programming planned throughout the day.
What Is Foodville Fest?
Foodville Fest is a Toronto festival centred around the food, music and culture of the African, Caribbean and Afro-Latin diaspora. Rather than focusing only on food, the festival brings together vendors, artists, chefs, DJs and community organizations for a full-day experience.
The festival has already welcomed more than 15,000 attendees and supported more than 110 Black-owned businesses since launching. For 2026, organizers are expanding the experience with more vendors, performances, chef showcases and activations.
Here are the details
Foodville Fest 2026 takes place on:
- Date: Saturday, August 22, 2026
- Time: 12 p.m. to 11 p.m.
- Location: Lamport Stadium, Toronto
The move to Lamport Stadium gives Foodville a new home for its 2026 edition. The festival will run from noon into the evening, so you can expect plenty of time to eat, explore and catch the entertainment.
What Can You Expect at Foodville?
Foodville is built around much more than trying a few new dishes. The 2026 festival will bring together food and artisan vendors, live music, DJs, chef showcases and curated activations celebrating African, Caribbean and Afro-Latin culture.
Food and Artisan Vendors
Come hungry because food is obviously at the centre of the festival.
Foodville highlights Black-owned businesses and culinary traditions from across the African and Caribbean diaspora. The festival says 2026 will feature more vendors and stronger representation, giving attendees even more food and craft offerings to explore.
Live Music and DJs
Once you’re done making your way through the food vendors, the entertainment lineup will keep the festival going.
Moliy will headline Foodville 2026, with LTL and Bolu Ajibade also joining the lineup alongside DJs and other artists. The festival promises music that brings African and Caribbean sounds together throughout the event.
Chef Showcases and Activations
Foodville will also feature chef showcases and curated activations alongside its food and music programming. That means there’s more to check out between meals, whether you’re there for the culinary side or the overall festival atmosphere.
Foodville Fest Is Supporting Black-Owned Businesses
One of the biggest parts of Foodville goes beyond the festival grounds.
A portion of every ticket sold supports the Table For Us Foundation, a nonprofit that works to support Black-owned food businesses, preserve culinary heritage across the African and Caribbean diaspora and support the next generation of chefs, farmers and food entrepreneurs.
According to Foodville, the festival has supported 110+ Black-owned food businesses since its first year and raised more than $250,000 for community and culture.
That makes your festival ticket about more than just a day out. You’re also helping support the businesses and food traditions that Foodville puts in the spotlight.
