Hamilton Food & Drink Festival - Anyone Going?

It's that time of the year again!!

Anyone planning on attending the Hamilton Food & Drink Festival that will be held at Copps Coleseum this weekend (April 9-11)??

Last year Sarah and I had an absolute blast! We tried to check out every exhibitor, it's definately a feat to accomplish if you can! From spices, to many micro beers, amazing wines, great pastas, asian dishes, mexican, cuban, pickled stuff of all sorts (seriuosly lol), whatever u can think of I'm sure there will be a booth setup...

We're gonna go on Friday, this time I'm gonna bring extra $$ cuz theres too many good beers to try

TIMES
Friday April 9th: 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm
Saturday April 10: 1:00 pm to 10:00 pm
Sunday April 11: 12 noon to 05:00 pm

�You will also receive an Official Show Program to help you decide what restaurants, wineries, and breweries you want to try first!
�The last step before joining in the good cheer is to purchase your Sample Tickets,(unless you purchased the Online Package Deal.

$20 you get (25) Sample Tickets
FYI - Most samples will range between 1- 4 Sample Tickets
�While enjoying the delicious food and drink our region has to offer, you and your gang can mingle with fellow guests, listen and watch some great entertainment on the main stage, take in one of the many daily cooking demonstrations or do a little shopping
�Be adventurous and try something new or reacquaint yourself with something old
�Last but certainly not least, have Fun!

Anyone else planning on attending?? We'll make it a lil roll call

we went last year and loved it. the trick is to go near closing time and all the vendors are trying to get rid of everything they have left. we were getting two or three samples for one ticket. the downside is that some of the vendors have completely run out of stuff.

i'd definately like to go again this year but we have a pretty busy weekend. hopefully we can squeeze it in.

Shit, I am DJ'ing this weekend, fri+sat, so if I am not too exhausted, then I should be there on sunday, around mid-day.

Definite maybe

Sounds delicious. Unfortunately I'm in lockdown until the 30th
