The fourth Fallsview Food and Drink Fest has a lineup worth clearing your calendar for. Fallsview Casino Resort announces the return of its sold-out culinary event, running June 5 through 7, 2026, set against the backdrop of Niagara Falls. Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster on Friday, March 27 at 10am, and include parking.
Two new additions headline this year’s roster. Gabe Bertaccini, co-host of Food Network’s Ciao House alongside Alex Guarnaschelli and a regular face on Chopped and Beat Bobby Flay, makes his Fallsview debut. Michael Smith, celebrated Canadian chef, bestselling author, and Prince Edward Island’s Food Ambassador, joins for all three days, capping the weekend with Brunch with Michael Smith on Sunday, June 7 at 21 Club Steak and Seafood.
Returning favourites Maneet Chauhan and Craig Wong round out the celebrity chef lineup. Chauhan, a James Beard Award recipient and Chopped judge, brings her signature blend of Indian heritage and global culinary influence. Wong, host of Cook Like A Chef and a MasterChef Canada judge, brings soulful, flavour-packed cooking to every plate. Comedian and Food Network personality John Catucci returns as festival host across Friday and Saturday.
The weekend kicks off Friday, June 5 with the Celebrity Chef Dine About in The Grand Hall, featuring food and drink pairings, chef interaction, and live music from DJ JustGeorge. Saturday brings Fallsview Food Con, an all-inclusive eating event with live demonstrations from celebrity chefs and local vendors alike.
