FlavoursPH  is a pioneer caravan festival in Toronto which aims to preserve and promote the diverse Philippine cuisine & culinary heritage. It is evident that the Philippine Gastronomy is a global phenomenon. There is a strong need to continue to encourage our Filipino-Canadians to learn more about it, cultivate it and honor our rich culinary traditions as a strong pillar of our national cultural identity. FlavoursPH  is a community event established and founded based on collaboration, a "bayanihan",  of different organization and individuals. Programming and activities will be inclusive and holistic. We have something for everyone in the family! We are committed to promote and showcase Philippine regional delicacies and our famous lechon and halo-halo special. And of course, a festival will not be complete without entertainment and cultural showcase. While evoking memories of home for thousands of Filipino-Canadians who live in the Greater Toronto Area, it will also bring the sights, sounds, and tastes of the Filipino culture to the GTA community in a way that only Filipinos can.

Kita-kita tayong lahat sa FlavoursPH: #BayanihanTO!
