Thank you for your interest in joining the Tastes of Home at Evergreen Brick Works. We are delighted that you are here!

The Tastes of Home Festival is a celebration of culinary diversity in the GTA.
This one-day event promises a gastronomic journey through the rich tapestry of flavors that define the Greater Toronto Area's (GTA) culinary scene.

Whether it's the aroma of a family recipe that transcends generations or the first bite of a dish that takes you back to a special moment, the festival celebrates the powerful connection between food and nostalgia. Explore the culinary landscape of the GTA and discover how each dish tells a unique story, weaving a tapestry of memories that bridge the past and present.

At Tastes of Home, the celebration extends beyond the flavors on your plate. It's a heartfelt acknowledgment that, in the midst of our bustling lives, the simple act of enjoying a delicious meal can be a remedy for homesickness, a source of comfort, and a way to connect with the essence of home.
