Growing Chefs! Ontario: Londonlicious is back for the Summer!

Londonlicious is back for the Summer!

London’s favourite bi-annual food festival is just one month away!

Posted on: Jun 23, 2026

Londonlicious Summer 2026 runs from July 24th to August 16th, bringing together some of the city’s best restaurants for a celebration of local food, community, and everything that makes London’s dining scene worth exploring.

For those new to the festival, Londonlicious is presented by Growing Chefs! Ontario — a London-based food education charity that has been delivering hands-on cooking and gardening programs to children, families, and communities across the region for over 18 years. Every dollar raised through Londonlicious supports that work directly, from in-school programming reaching approximately 12,000 children annually to community workshops, camps, and public events right here in London.

At Growing Chefs! Ontario, a commitment to local food goes beyond the classroom. We are proud to be Feast ON certified — a provincial designation recognizing Ontario restaurants, caterers, and food businesses that are committed to sourcing and celebrating Ontario-grown and produced food and drink. More than 40% of the produce used in our Beet Kitchen and cooking classes comes from right here in Ontario, and that same philosophy shapes the spirit of Londonlicious: good food, grown close to home, shared in community.

Participating venue announcements are continuing every week. Follow us on social media and subscribe to the Londonlicious newsletter to be the first to know which restaurants are joining us this summer — and to stay in the loop on upcoming giveaways and events.

More details to come. Stay tuned. 🌿
