Pan American Food & Music Festival 2025: 41 Countries, 3 Days, Free Entry in Toronto

Toronto’s most flavour-packed weekend is back. The Pan American Food and Music Festival (PanamFest) returns July 18–20, 2025, and it’s going big—with food from 41 countries across the Americas. Whether you’re hungry for Argentinian empanadas, Caribbean jerk, or classic Canadian poutine, this free, three-day festival at Nathan Phillips Square promises bold bites, global grooves, and culture on full display.

41 Countries. One City. Infinite Flavour.

Now in its 13th year, PanamFest brings together a powerful mix of chefs, food vendors, musicians, dancers, and performers representing countries across North, Central, and South America. You’ll get a chance to eat your way through the Americas without ever leaving downtown.

From Brazilian cheese bread (Pão de Queijo) to Colombian arepas and Mexican tacos, every booth is a new passport stamp. And yes, the poutine is still on the map too.
