Downtown Strathroy Market

This event will be held on Friday August 2, 5-10 pm. It will include a sit-down meal, and the licensing of the entire market area - Front Street between Caradoc and Frank and Frank Street between Front and Centre.

Food will be served in a pop-up restaurant (Feast on Front) on Front street in front of Tia’s and Rusty Wrench. Catering is being done by Rusty Wrench, Tia’s Place, and the Clock Tower Inn. Additional food trucks will be onsite for market goers who do not pre-purchase a dinner ticket.

The event also includes Market vendors selling handicrafts; home based businesses and local bands. This event is open to all ages and there will be children present as we have a bouncy castle and a children’s area.

Patrons will be able to move freely with a single serving of alcohol, between licensed areas and throughout the Market. We are partnering with three licensed restaurants; Rusty Wrench, Tia’s Place, and Rumours Bar & Grill. Rusty Wrench will be placing a portable bar on Frank Street as a secondary location. Attendees will purchase alcohol directly from the restaurants and then be able to walk throughout the market and sit and listen to the music. Wristbands will be used to denote anyone who is of legal age and has purchased alcohol. All alcoholic drinks will be served in unique to the event cups that are easily recognizable. Staff volunteers will man entrance and exit points.

The tickets for Feast on Front will go on sale within two weeks, hopefully sooner. The cost for the three-course meal will be $45 per person. It includes an appetizer (Rusty Wrench), main (Tia’s Place), and dessert (Clock Tower Inn). Alcohol can be purchased separately from the servers.

Tickets are presale only at this point. They can be purchased at the Townhall, by phone (519) 245-1105 ext. 264 or by emailing lpommer@strathroy-caradoc.ca

There will be two seatings, one at 6 pm and a second at 8 pm. The purchaser must specify which seating and choose appetizer and main so that the restaurants will know exactly what to prepare.

Each seating will be for 100 people. This will more then double the size of the dinner from last year. Entertainment will be specific to the restaurant area as well.
