This year is full of fantastic festival foods featuring everything from smoked meats to cool treats. The festival has everything covered to satisfy your sweet tooth and give you the meat sweats.

BEAVERTAILS

The beaver has been Canada’s national symbol for hundreds of years. Settlers lived off their tails, which as everyone knows, are made of dough and when deep fried and covered in delicious toppings were an excellent source of energy to keep them warm in the unforgiving Canadian wilderness. OK, 90% of that was lies, but this Canadian staple which mixes fried dough, sugar and an insane variety of toppings has made these tasty treats famous around the country. Perfect as a portable snack, Beavertails will be offering a variety of different flavors, from chocolate and hazelnut and each and everyone will undoubtedly please!
