East Coast Summer Picnic
2SLGBTQI+ Welcoming Food & Drink Experiences
Join us for an exceptional summer evening along the St. Lawrence River as we introduce the inaugural East Coast Summer Picnic—an elegant celebration of food, place, and purpose.
Hosted by Maison Maitland, this evening brings together great food, music, and company in a beautiful river view setting.
We are honoured to welcome celebrated Canadian chef Jamie Kennedy for a thoughtfully curated East Coast-inspired menu. From passed hors d’oeuvres and interactive culinary moments—including the signature JK French fries—to a stunning seafood-focused main offering and strawberry shortcake finale, the evening is designed to be both immersive and memorable.
Guests will also enjoy curated beverage offerings including; Karlo Estates, Windmill Brewery and Pluck Tea, perfectly complementing the menu.
At its heart, this evening is about impact. Proceeds will support the launch of a free Work Hard, Eat Well summer camp in 2027— where youth learn to prepare and enjoy healthy meals, build confidence, and stay active. Your support can transform a young person’s summer—and beyond.
Event Sponsors: Jamie Kennedy Kitchens, Karlo Estates Winery, Pluck Tea and Windmill Brewery.
