Waterfront Night Market - Water feature and floating Lanterns

Waterfront Night Market

(11 reviews)

This was such a fun, spontaneous evening! It had a cool Oriental night market vibe with tons of…read morefood stalls, bouncy houses, and two live DJs. The food was tasty but definitely pricey, especially after the entrance fee (which wasn't cheap). Highlight was launching lanterns into the water such a sweet little moment with my kid. It felt like a cool blend of culture-meets-festival energy. Would totally go again, just maybe pre-game with snacks first .

The website: I wasn't impressed with this waterfront night…read moremarket. I had such high hopes though. Their marketing & pictures of past events looked so good. Hubby & I bought tickets for this year's event. Firstly, their website doesn't have any FAQs. Other than a link to buy tickets & what the cost of the ticket gets you there's not much more information. First Impressions: We arrived just after 4pm & lined up. We got through pretty quickly because there wasn't much of a lineup. The device they were using to scan tickets wouldn't scan ours so they took a picture instead. We had VIP tickets so we got the "nicer" red lantern with tealight candle (the kind with a battery & a switch to turn on). They did a bag check & saw one of us had a bottle of water with us (unopened). They made us throw it into the garbage before going in. That wasn't nice. I later saw people with their reusable water bottles walking around with it. Why were those allowed and not ours? Not nice. As we went inside some booths weren't even set up. Though a good amount were already making their food items for waiting customers. One booth near the entrance was grilling skewers & the smoke went everywhere. The food: After wandering around I decided to get the ube burger & fries from the Bunso booth. The burger was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. The beef patties inside were quite thin. It didn't look appetizing compared to the picture. But it tasted a lot better than it looked. LOL. One thing I will criticize about the burger I wish they hadn't put so much black pepper into the patty. It was a bit spicy for me. It would have been nice if they had seasoned it more gently. The fries were decent. My only complaint is that they weren't hot. But given the circumstances where they were cooked (outdoors on a windy day) I can understand that. The Chatime food truck was nearby so I bought a purple aura bubble tea drink from them. It was too sweet for me. I only drank about half of it before abandoning it. Later on I got the egg shaped waffles in a small carton & the combo comes with lemonade in a flask. This was from Eggette Lab. The flask is a round ring & the strap is pink. Hubby drank the weak lemonade in it. It was funny to see him wearing the flask with pink ribbon & cartoon cats on it. Hubby got chicken skewers from Bunso (no picture) & a Vietnamese coffee style drink (didn't catch name of food vendor). The good: -The red lanterns hanging above the dance floor were nice. -The water feature where the lanterns go was nice. But the water didn't look too clean. -There was a plastic gold dragon by the water which looks nice in pictures & there's a small red bridge beside the water feature for selfie shots. -There was also some plastic Fu dogs where the dragon dancers have a tent. -The fake cherry blossoms looked nice too. -People were friendly & food vendors were friendly. -There were picnic tables set up near the back of the area away from the dance floor. It was quieter there. -The live dj was good. The bad: -A lot of the same food vendors here have also been at Mel Lastman Square events which is free to get into - I didn't feel like I was getting anything special or VIP. I was hoping to see more food vendors I hadn't seen before. -The only washrooms were portapotties which were disgusting & dirty. You can use the washrooms at enercare center but you have to leave the market & might not be allowed back in. -The VIP ticket came with a free alcoholic drink. That booth wasn't even set up yet when we arrived. Hubby was able to get a soju bomb later. -There are no recycle bins or green bins. Everything goes into the garbage. That's a lot of waste. When we got home we opened up the lanterns to look at them. They are cheap plastic lanterns. We recycled them at home. The electronic tea lights are ones you can get at the dollar store. It was nice to experience a different night market but I don't think I'll come back to this one. There are tons of free-entry night markets around the city that I can go to.

Burlington Food Truck Festival - Los Vietnamita fish taco

Burlington Food Truck Festival

(1 review)

The Burlington Food Truck Festival is a free three day festival that took place by the waterfront…read morein Burlington Ontario at Spencer Smith Park. The festival is run by the Canadian Food Truck Festival which is also responsible for food truck festivals in Toronto, Richmond Hill, Brampton and Pickering. Admission was free but an amount of $5 was suggested which would go to the charitable cause SickKids Foundation. I went on a Sunday afternoon and Spencer Smith Park was a perfect location for the festival, right by the waterfront and lots of ample space to move and areas to sit and enjoy your food. There were forty food trucks in attendance. We went with 4 tacos from El Trompo (four for $12 tax included), the Mexican restaurant in Kensington Market also has a food truck now. A spicy lamb roti from T Dot's Naansense ($12 tax included), A paella from La Fiesta ($14 tax included). All three vendors we bought food from were all pretty good but nothing really outstanding. For those interested in alcoholic beverages, they had cans of Budweiser for sale ($9 tax included) and free samples of Budweiser's prohibition beer. Budweiser also happened to be one of the sponsors of the event. In terms of entertainment, they had a children's village with rides for the children in attendance and local musicians performing at the main stage. Overall, really well run food truck festival at a great location with lots of ample space and lots of different food options. Prices were a little on the high side but food at most food festivals are pretty expensive in general. It's a great event for people of all ages: teenagers, couples, friends looking for something to do and families.

Canada's Largest Ribfest - Showing off the goods!

Canada's Largest Ribfest

(5 reviews)

Who knew Burlington's Ribfest was the largest in Canada? I had been hearing about it from multiple…read moresources leading up to it and figured if I was going to go to any ribfest in the GTA, it might as well be the largest one! It's held in the same location every year which is the the Burlington Lakefront along the Waterfront Trail. You can't miss the set up. There was an entrance point with big banners announcing Ribfest and its main organizer Rotary International. There was an optional donation for entry here but it wasn't clear what was benefiting from the donations. Once you got through, there was a small midway set up leading towards Brant Street Pier. We walked a bit along the waterfront trail to see the main food area. You can see the behind the scenes from the paved path. The green is where each of the stalls are set up. Each of the purveyors had a huge lattice of banners that advertised all their prizing from locations across Canada and the US. They also had tables in front of their stalls with all the hardware they won. Super impressive! Also at the front were generally staff that were giving out tasters of their BBQ sauce so you could try before you bought. Every place had ribs that came in the 1/3, 1/2, and full rack. They also varied in terms of what other meats (chicken, pulled pork, sausage) and sides (beans, mac and cheese, cornbread) they carried. All of the pricing was pretty similar so you weren't at risk of losing out on value anywhere. The ribs really were exceptional! We got them from two different stalls and both were fall off the bone and so tender. There were slight differences in sauce and I did end up preferring one over the other, but they were both really tasty. We also had a smoked sausage to try something else out that was different. I'd just stick with the ribs personally. All of the staff that we interacted with were exceptionally nice. The whole vibe was that everyone was there having a good time. At one place, there was a sign that said "Tip to make the crew oink". We weren't intentionally trying to see what would happen but the sign was spot on - everyone oinked haha. At another stall, our tip got us an extra end rib which was very kind of them to do. The lines were really good this year as it was a little rainy out and acted as crowd control. I've heard that in other years, you need to come with a big group so everyone can split up and line up at different stalls! We only had to wait 5 minutes or less for each place.

This is an excellent way to spend your Labor Day weekend; great food and lots of entertainment!…read more There are dozens of rib vendors from all over the US and Canada. Prices are reasonable, with tall boy cans of beer for $8. This year a full rack of ribs will cost you $25 and half rack for $15. I always stick to the ribs as they are always cooking them on the grill so they are nice and hot. The chicken breast is good too, but usually not as freshly cooked. They have two performance stages at either end of the park with bands playing all the time. There are lots of white high back chairs for sitting which makes for a comfortable time. If you can find a spot, you can park at a couple of the lots at the park, and parking is free at them after 6:00pm.
