Vaughan Flavours summer edition offers something for everyone’s palate – plan ahead so you don’t miss out! 

Vaughan Flavours is a City of Vaughan initiative created to further support local businesses in response to sweeping U.S. tariffs. It comes from Mayor Steven Del Duca and Ward 2 Councillor Adriano Volpentesta’s Members’ Resolution (PDF) to develop a pilot program encouraging residents and visitors to dine out in Vaughan. On April 23, 2025 Vaughan Council approved a staff report (PDF) to proceed with the Vaughan Flavours pilot. On June 23, 2026, Vaughan Council approved a staff report (PDF) to deliver an annual summer and winter edition of the program.
