Book lovers, cocktail sippers, and taco devourers—this Saturday, August 9, the WindsorEats Food Hall is turning into every adult bookworm’s dream come true. It’s all happening from 1pm to 6pm at 400 Erie Street East, Windsor, Ontario—and it’s completely FREE to attend. 🙌
Here’s everything you need to know before you cancel all your other plans:
1. 📚 Books, Glorious Books!
We’re talking Biblioasis, River Bookshop, local author Stephen Kristoff, and even the Windsor Public Library’s bookmobile. Whether you’re into fiction, non-fiction, or just want to judge a book by its cover—there’s something for everyone.
2. 🍸 Boozy Beverages While You Browse
Nothing says “grown-up” like sipping an Aperol Spritz or margarita while flipping through your next favourite novel. Our full service bar is locked and loaded.
3. ☕ Don’t Worry, Teetotalers!
We’ve got a novel-worthy lineup of iced lattes in flavours like salted maple, brown sugar, and strawberry. Sip, flip, repeat.
4. 🎶 Live Music All. Day. Long.
This isn’t your typical quiet library vibe. We’ve got live tunes to keep the mood just right:
12:30–2:30pm: Leighton Bain
3:00–6:00pm: Ryan Yoke
7:00–9:00pm: Andrew MacLeod (because why stop the party?)
5. 🌮 Fuel Up with Food Truck Faves
Literally spice up your day with tacos from Rico Taco and dig into some Asian fusion magic from Kaeru Snack Bar. Book fair food > boring fair food.
6. 🛋️ Curl Up in the Reading Nook
We’re setting up a cozy indoor patio reading nook with couches so you can dive into your new book immediately. Bonus points if you show up with your book club.
7. 🛍️ Shop Beyond the Books
Expect more than just reading material. Think fun goodies, local finds, and gifts you’ll accidentally keep for yourself.
8. 📖 Meet the Authors
Rub elbows with Stephen Kristoff, chat with local book pros, and maybe even get a signed copy or two.
9. 🚎 A Bookmobile, Because Why Not?
The Windsor Public Library’s bookmobile will be rolling up like the celebrity it is. It’s nostalgic, adorable, and packed with reads.
10. 📚🍷 It’s Basically the Best Book Club Outing Ever
Grab your entire club and make it a day. There’s something magical about chatting over books and margaritas in the sunshine.
