Alberta on the Plate to highlight locally grown food and who produces it

Jul 28, 2022 | 3:25 PM

More than 100 establishments in 27 Alberta communities are participating in the upcoming Alberta on the Plate dine-around festival.

From Aug. 12-21, Alberta on the Plate will showcase the province’s bounty of produce, and introduce patrons to the people and businesses that grow, raise, create and support the agri-food industry.

The event will highlight local producers, growers, distillers and brewers.

“This slate of participating establishments showcases the local flavours that influence each region of the province,” stats Rheannon Green, Director of Finer Details with Food Tourism Strategies. “From the Indigenous peoples who shaped our land to the immigration influences of the French, Ukrainian, Chinese and Vietnamese, the Alberta terroir is shaped by the people as much as by the land which is reflected in the diversity of the restaurants, food products and culinary creators across Alberta.”
