There’s something magical about gathering around a sizzling grill, surrounded by laughter, music, and the smell of food in the air. This year’s Asado Festival was everything we hoped it would be—and more.
What started as a simple idea to celebrate culture, food, and community turned into one of the most fun-filled, heartfelt events of the season. From the moment the first steak hit the grill to the final round of dancing under the stars, the energy was pure joy. Nico P was sensational. SWA and Alx Veliz put on a show that will be remembered for a long time. Bailador Entertainment and C1080 North Cabdombe had the crowd going wild as well.
Culture and Connection
More than just a feast, Asado was a celebration of Latin heritage. We played classic cumbia and reggaeton tracks that had everyone on their feet, mixing in some salsa, bachata, and more! Let’s not forget the dance lessons.
Kids played fútbol in the Kids Zone organized by North York FC. Abuelas shared stories from back home. New friendships were formed over shared plates and good wine. It wasn’t just a party—it was a reminder of how powerful food and culture can be in bringing people together.
Already Counting Down to the Next One
By the end of the night, we were full—of food, laughter, and a deep sense of community. Everyone left with a smoky scent in their clothes and a smile on their face, already asking, “When’s the next one?”
Well lucky for everyone, Asado is back today for the finale… 12pm to 9pm. Grab your free tickets here!
To everyone who came out: gracias de corazón. You made this Asado Festival unforgettable. Until next time, keep the grill hot and the vibes even hotter.
