Come try out a variety of Toronto’s unofficial favourite snack! This year we have many patty shops ready to let you see which one you like best! See you all there!”

“We will also be out all night in Little Jamaica dancing with @carlosmorganmusic for MoTown at Sundown, stay tuned,” the post continued.

The festival is a great chance to try Jamaican patties if you haven’t before, or just indulge in some of the very best variations of the snack from around the GTA.

Toronto Patty Fest is just one of the Caribbean celebrations happening in the city that weekend as the beloved Caribana festival is also taking place featuring the grand parade, food festivals, live entertainment and more.
