Collingwood embraces the outdoor dining experience for the 4th Annual Patiolicious! Explore a fresh way of experiencing the taste of Collingwood at one of our many restaurants, eateries, cafes and craft breweries on their expanded patios.
Patios came from Europe to North America in the 1960's as an innovative way of experiencing eating outdoors. Sixty years later, Collingwood launched the first Patiolicious in 2020 to support its many local restaurants and cafes. In the entrepreneurial spirit Collingwood has become recognized for, its locally owned eating establishments took the opportunity to create refreshing new spaces that celebrate the connection the region has become famous for as Ontario’s Four-Season Playground.
This year, Collingwood Patiolicious gives everyone a chance to experience numerous outdoor patios, both in its historic downtown, as well as around Town and along its many hiking and biking trails after extending the season to last all through summer and fall of 2023!
Support local and come experience Collingwood Patiolicious for some great sweet and savoury celebrations, as well as the extensive selection of locally brewed beers and distilled beverages at more than 30+ participating locations. Check out our participating locations at www.Patiolicious.ca and make your own list of food & beverage outdoor experiences to try every week!
Canada Day long weekend is around the corner! Why not skip the dishes, support our local businesses and take friends and family for a feast at any one of our 30+ participating patios. If you’re bringing all the famjam, cousins, aunties and uncles – check ahead in case reservations are needed.
Collingwood Patiolicious is presented by the Town of Collingwood and the Collingwood Downtown BIA.
