Gananoque’s downtown dining scene will take centre stage this February with the launch of WinterFEAST, a month-long culinary celebration running February 1–28, 2026. The inaugural event is designed to encourage residents and visitors to support local eateries during February, traditionally one of the most challenging months for restaurants.
Participating restaurants have created special WinterFEAST menu offerings, all listed on the WinterFEAST website www.gananoque.ca/winterfeast and organized into the following categories:
Breakfast / Brunch
Lunch
Dinner
Anytime
Adding a community-focused element, many participating eateries will donate a portion of proceeds from each WinterFEAST special to the Gananoque Food Bank, helping support residents in need during the winter season.
WinterFEAST will also feature live music at many participating venues throughout the month. A full performance calendar is available on the WinterFEAST website and is also listed on the Gananoque Events Calendar, giving diners even more reasons to explore multiple locations.
To further encourage participation, diners who visit the greatest number of participating eateries during WinterFEAST will be entered into a draw to win a $200 gift certificate to Riva Restaurant.
WinterFEAST is proudly sponsored by the Downtown Gananoque Business Improvement Area (BIA) and the Tourism Advisory Panel (TAP).
