The 12th Annual
Flavours of Muskoka
will be held at the Rosseau, a JW Marriott Resort & Spa in Minett
on Thursday, June 28th, 2012
6:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Flavours of Muskoka has been called an "amazing graze, the premier gourmet food and wine event of the Muskoka season." The money raised has contributed over $250,000 to help make a difference in our community.
Every year, Flavours invites Muskoka's top hotels, restaurants, and chefs to set up a table and offer samples from their menus. In addition, a select group of wineries and breweries are invited to sample their wares. Last year, Flavours obtained the participation of over 40 restaurants and wineries. In addition, the silent auction features hundreds of great items donated by local businesses, artists and craftspeople.
This event is the main fundraiser for Kaleidoscope Arts in Education Programs for children in Muskoka. Kaleidoscope is the primary mission of the Muskoka Lakes Music Festival, based in Port Carling.
This video shows some of the highlights of the 2011 event:
Kaleidoscope develops innovative and integrated arts programming for schools, children and teachers in the Muskoka area. By connecting schools and local children with professional artists in the community, Kaleidoscope strives to enrich students' learning experiences and teachers' expertise in the arts. Our artistic workshops awaken creativity, celebrate cultural diversity, and deepen awareness and understanding of complex issues. In 2008 the MLMF became a partner with ArtsSmarts, an international arts education and research organization.Through workshops in local schools, the annual Kaleidoscope Children's Festival, teacher professional development workshops, a children's choir and summer camp programs, children and teachers can participate in innovative arts-based projects led by professional performing and visual artists. Kaleidoscope's growing roster of artists includes painters, printmakers, carvers, potters, dancers, musicians, actors, fabric artists, photographers, and sculptors, all from the Muskoka area.
Flavours is a highly anticipated event in Muskoka, with over 400 people attending every year. Taking place at the beginning of the busy summer season, it offers a unique opportunity for businesses to raise their profile in this lucrative market. It is a prestigious and extravagant event attended by cottagers and business, social and community leaders - a great venue in which to showcase your products.
