Winter Eats Drive-Thru Festival will be coming to Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga this week from December 18 to December 19.

La Arepa Pelua from The Arepa Republic features shredded beef and cheddar cheese stuffed inside a corn arepa.

The event will take place at the P3 outdoor parking lot just across from Entrance 2. It will feature six vendors, including RebozosThe Arepa RepublicThe Holy GrillSupreme EatsGourmet Guyz and The Funky Patacon.

To ensure that safe social distancing is put into effect, they encourage guests to pre-order in advance through the Night Market website. The full menu for all vendors is also posted online for those who wish to order pickup on the spot. 

Food items include birria tacos from Rebozos, arepas and empanadas from The Arepa Republic, The Holy Grill’s Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, smash burgers from Supreme Eats, lobster poutine from Gourmet Guyz and The Funky Patacon’s plantain sandwiches.

The festival was announced back in November after they decided to cancel their Harvest Food Festival in October due to the rise in COVID-19 cases. This event has since been altered to fulfill current restrictions and is in full compliance with Peel Public Health.

Winter Eats Drive-Thru Festival will run this Friday between 3 p.m. and 10 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 8 p.m.
