Come along and celebrate all things Canadian with a tasty breakfast at St George's Market. Whether it's mounties, moose or maple syrup that gets your heart racing, there'll be something to put you in the mood at our breakfast event*. Not only that, you'll even get a new souvenir for attending!
The event will take place from 9am - 9:30am at St George's Market in the main seating area in front of El Toro Grill (the one with the metal tables not picnic tables, see picture above). There are several entrances into the market, I have marked the closest one to the event location as a trailhead. The FTF draw will take place at 9:25am with an unregistered FTF geocoin for the winner, but the log will still be available until 9:30, after which you can stay on and chat, peruse what the market has to offer or whatever takes your fancy. There are no access nor age restrictions so all are welcome, if you are a visitor in our fair city you are more than welcome to join (especially if you're Canadian, but please note no snowmobiles allowed). There's even free Wifi for you to log your attendance!
Canada Day
1st July is Canada Day, the national day of Canada, celebrating the anniversary of the British North America Act, an important step on the road to Canada as we know it today. This year marks the 150th anniversary, so if you've never celebrated it before then now's the perfect time to start. If you're wondering why we should celebrate Canada then just imagine what your life would be like without the likes of Shania Twain, William Shatner, Pamela Anderson and, erm, Justin Bieber...
St George's Market
St George’s Market is one of Belfast’s oldest attractions. It was built between 1890 and 1896 and is one of the best markets in the UK and Ireland. It has been selected for numerous local and national titles and awards for its fresh, local produce and great atmosphere. It holds a weekly Friday Variety Market, the City Food and Craft Market on Saturdays and the Sunday Market. It also hosts a range of events throughout the year.
Saturday is the City Food and Craft Market offering a huge range of local, continental and specialty foods including meat and fish, cheese, coffee beans, tapas and organic products. There is no obligation to purchase any food to participate in the event. The market can get quite busy, feel free to get there early if you don't want to queue for your breakfast!
