FUNKFEST Named Ontario’s Culinary Event of The Year

Sawdust City Brewery’s FUNKFEST awarded 2018 Event of The Year by the Ontario Culinary Tourism Awards of Excellence

October 29, 2018 – MUSKOKA ON

Have you heard the great news? The coolest brewery on the block in downtown Gravenhurst, Sawdust City Brewery, has been rewarded for their FUNKFEST efforts this past Canada Day long weekend.

The day was filled with funky live music, fresh food, cold brews and festivities. FUNKFEST was a huge success and the judges at the Ontario Culinary Tourism of Excellence seemed to agree. The Ontario Culinary Tourism awards exist to recognize those who work hard to tell the stories of the province’s growers, chefs, producers, winemakers and brew masters.

 

Congratulations to Sawdust City!

It’s not easy becoming provincial champions, but Sawdust City Brewing Co. made it look easy. The 2018 FUNKFEST was only the 3rd annual for this event, and already it has become a summer mainstay in Muskoka.

Muskoka Tourism would like to wish a whole-hearted congrats to the team at Sawdust City Brewing Co. Thank you for hosting events like FUNKFEST that make Muskoka a great destination to discover, thank you for your delicious craft brews, and thank you for an award-winning time in 2018!

 

FUNKFEST 2019?

You betcha. The 2019 FUNKFEST date is set to be on Saturday, June 29. Keep your eyes peeled for the release of the event details.
