Orangeville residents can win up to $200 in Downtown Dollars by exploring local eateries during the new A World of Flavour food festival, running September 19 to October 4, 2026. The Downtown Orangeville BIA is behind the two-week initiative, which pairs a dining contest with global cuisines and Canadian favourites at participating restaurants, cafes, and eateries throughout the core.
To enter the Dine.Scan.Win contest, visitors simply need to visit any participating downtown restaurant between September 19 and October 4, look for the A World of Flavour desk sitter, and scan the QR code. The grand prize is $200 in Downtown Dollars, with a second prize of $100 in Downtown Dollars.
The festival kicks off on Saturday, September 19 alongside Orangeville Oktoberfest on Mill Street. The Taphouse Craft Beer + Kitchen is the Food & Beverage Partner, and The Hometown Market will host a Night Market from 3 to 9 p.m. The Taphouse, located at 34 Mill Street, is Orangeville’s first craft beer bar with a focus on Ontario-made beverages and dishes sourced from Dufferin County.
A World of Flavour showcases a range of global options, from Indian, Vietnamese, Chinese, South Asian, Italian, and Mexican dishes to Canadian classics. The BIA has run similar dining contests in the past, including the Fork It! promotion in 2022 that offered weekly $100 prize draws during January and February to support downtown restaurants.
Details on participating restaurants and contest rules are available on the A World of Flavour event page. The initiative is part of the BIA’s ongoing work to bring foot traffic to downtown businesses and support the local economy.
