The Cross-Continental Kickoff
We're happy to share that Scarborough Arts is supporting this series as part of its goal to champion local businesses and encourage neighbourhood exploration. The ticket price is now only $70 / person + HST (whereas regular pricing is $110 / person + HST).
Hey sports fans! (And the friends of the sports fans who show up for the half-time snacks!) For the first time in World Cup history, the games will be hosted in North America, with Toronto gearing up to host 13 of these teams for 6 matches in BMO Stadium.
Toronto is abuzz with excitement as we show ourselves to be one of the most multicultural cities in the world. Where better to see this than Toronto’s cultural nucleus: Scarborough. On this tour, we’ll prep for the World Cup the best way we know how. Join us on a cross-continental foodventure crossing from Europe to West Africa and West Asia all contained on a bus ride through Scarborough! On this tour, we’ll taste rich flavours shaped by distinct climates and contexts, who despite the distances and differences, occasionally cook similar dishes like they play the same game -- completely uniquely.
Join our team and keep the eye on the prize: delicious food, good company, and the palpable excitement of a neck-in-neck match of culinary proportions.
Let's discover world class flavours in the centre of the heart of Scarborough city.
