Toronto 
Events Description
If the season had a flavour, this would be it. SMOKED, a first-of-its-kind BBQ and live-fire food and music festival, is taking over STACKT market in downtown Toronto, serving up exclusive dishes from some of Canada’s most celebrated chefs and pitmasters, all set to a backdrop of live music and DJs that keep the energy high from the first bite to the last.
Produced by Nourish, SMOKED is part backyard cookout, part chef’s table, and part community gathering — created for food lovers who crave bold food, rich stories, and soul in every bite.
Every plate and every pour gives back.
