✨ Why This Festival Matters

Foodville is a bold celebration of African, Caribbean, and Afro-Latin culture rooted in authentic flavors, sounds, and traditions that define Toronto’s identity. This is not a generic food festival. Founded by Private Cay Media, Foodville was built with intention: to celebrate Black-owned food businesses, preserve culinary heritage, and create an experience that feels true to the culture.

Over four editions, Foodville has supported 110+ Black-owned food businesses and raised $250,000+ for community initiatives through the Table For Us Foundation. Every ticket you purchase directly supports the next generation of Black chefs, farmers, and food entrepreneurs. When you show up on August 22, you’re not just eating extraordinary food and hearing world-class music — you’re building something meaningful.

From jerk to jollof, patties to puff-puffs — Foodville brings the flavors of an entire diaspora to one place on one unforgettable Saturday night.

🎤 Lineup & Performances

Foodville 2026 features an ambitious lineup built to move you. International headliner MOLIY brings her distinctive sound and energy to Toronto. Supporting her is a deep roster of DJs, artists, and performers representing African and Caribbean music and culture throughout the entire 11-hour festival.

Every set is chosen with intention. This is the sound of Africa and the Caribbean in one place — from viral anthems to the finest selectors, Foodville’s music program celebrates the culture at every level.

🍲 The 60+ Vendor Lineup

Foodville curates 60+ Black-owned food vendors representing the breadth of African, Caribbean, and Afro-Latin cuisines. From street food to artisan goods, every vendor tells a story of culinary heritage, entrepreneurship, and community pride.
