The top 10 food events in Toronto this August

Food events in Toronto this August feature some of the summer's most highly anticipated festivals. From the Big Feastival in Oro-Medonte to the popular vegan love-in at Fort York, you'll have a hard time choosing how to indulge over the next 31 days.

Events you might want to check out:

Toronto Food Truck Festival (August 4-7 @ Woodbine Park)
Instead of chasing them down, catch Toronto's best food trucks all in one place. There will be lots to taste here, so pace yourself.
Dinner Under the Stars (August 11 @ Berczy Park)
Tickets to this outdoor dinner don't come cheap ($200 each), but some of the proceeds go to a good cause. If you're willing to fork out the dough, you'll be treated to a five-course meal right on Front Street.
Waterfront Night Market (August 11-13 @ Hearn Generating Station)
This night market has a new location for 2017, so head to Toronto's abandoned power plant to feast!
JerkFest (August 11-13 @ Centennial Park)
This festival's all about food and music - and lots and lots of jerk chicken.

Celebrate some of the best kothu roti, a Sri-Lankan street dish made from roti, vegetables, egg and/or meats, at this annual event with free admission.
Sweetery (August 12 @ David Pecaut Square )
Indulge your sweet tooth at this festival that's all about dessert.
The Big Feastival (August 18-20 @ Burl's Creek, Oro-Medonte, Ontario)

Vendors from Toronto, as well as some from around the world, serve up all sorts of plant-based and meat-free food and drink items at this annual festival.
Taste of Manila (August 19 @ Bathurst and Wilson)
The corner of Bathurst and Wilson shuts down for this street festival featuring food and drinks from the Philippines.
Beer, Bourbon & BBQ (August 25-27 @ Ontario Place)
