But “Eat Your City” doesn’t solely pertain to food.  When we say “eat your city” what we mean is that we want you to savour , indulge in , experience everything your city has to offer.  To take in all the aspects of our city and the surrounding region that makes it great.

That’s why the Eat Your City event is more than food.  Local businesses are celebrating too!
