Culinary curiosities abound in Lethbridge as monthly Foodie Fest kicks off for summer

The warm sunshine brought many people in Lethbridge outside on Tuesday, and those who were downtown were able to indulge in the kick-off of Foodie Fest.

The event started at noon in Galt Gardens and Festival Square.

The fest features a range of local food trucks, live entertainment and free samples from several restaurants and cafés.

The Downtown Lethbridge BRZ says the event is one of its most popular throughout the summer months.

“It’s just such a great community event. People love it. People come out. It’s a good opportunity for us to showcase the food in downtown Lethbridge and showcase what’s here, what can people explore,” said Emily Chong, Downtown Lethbridge BRZ communications manager.

Foodie Fest was planned to run until 8 p.m. on Tuesday, and will be held again, the last Tuesday of every month until August.
