Come on over for supper! The tradition of communities gathering for a meal is longstanding on this Island, and we would like to invite you. Have some dinner before your show, spend an afternoon enjoying lunch, there are even a few breakfasts to start your travels.

we are staying in Port Hood 3 days and would love to dine with the Islanders smiles we are from the Muskoka area of Ontario and this is our first trip east
family of 4 adults
Thanks Betty,
Can’t wait to see you in October! Our Community Meals have quickly become “Can’t Miss” events.
Should tickets for the meals be booked in advance? If so, how do we do this?
Thanks
Hi Elizabeth,
Our community meals are quite popular and booking in advance would be advisable.
Tickets for some of our community meals are available for purchase online. These meals will have a red “Buy Tickets” button on their page. If the meal does not have such a button then tickets cannot be purchased from our website. In this case you must contact the host of the event via the email or phone number listed on that meal’s page and reserve tickets with them.
Hope this helps, Elizabeth. If you need any more assistance with community meals tickets, Don’t hesitate to call our box office toll free at 1-877-285-2321.
