Taste of Chatham-Kent is taking place from July 27 to September 30 throughout Chatham-Kent.
Municipal officials say Taste of Chatham-Kent (TOCK) is a multi-week celebration of cultural diversity in Chatham-Kent that brings together cultural associations, businesses, and community groups to showcase unique and exciting cultural activities taking place all over CK.
There are TOCK events already scheduled, such as a Newcomer Picnic in the Park, happening July 27 at Kingston Park, the Chatham-Kent International Food Festival, taking place in Tecumseh Park on August 16-18, and the CK World Cup Soccer Tournament, hosted by the Portuguese Club of Chatham, taking place on August 24.
There are many more to come, and more are being added weekly.
Want to participate?
Community or cultural groups that are planning events such as dance performances, live music, a special night at a restaurant, hosting an open house, or planning an activity to showcase cultural heritage can send details to info@tasteofchathamkent.ca and the event will be added to the TOCK line-up.
The TOCK committee will work with groups hosting TOCK events to help promote and spread the word about the event within the community.
“Taste of Chatham-Kent brings cultural events throughout CK together in a way that can be shared and promoted within the community,” stated Mayor Darrin Canniff.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity for Chatham-Kent to come together and celebrate our growing community, our growing cultural diversity, and all things that make Chatham-Kent an amazing place to live.”
A media event will be held in the coming weeks and a complete schedule of events is available at www.tasteofchathamkent.ca.
