Throughout the evening, guests will explore ten chef stations, sampling small plates & mocktail pairings featuring the best of PEI’s local flavours and connecting with Island chefs.
As guests move from station to station, they will cast their votes for the most memorable culinary experience and win door prizes.
The highlight of the night, the Chef’s Island Quickfire Challenge, will feature four chefs competing in a thrilling black box showdown, all vying for the top prize of $1,000 and a trip to the 2026 Culinary Federation National Conference.
Forty randomly selected guests will receive an exclusive tasting token to sample one of the competitors’ creations!
