It\u2019ll be sure to fill you up. And if you\u2019d rather save your room, you can always get your own snack and settle in to watch the competition unfold from a safe distance.<\/p>\n<p>As for the eats, Taste of Autumn will have it all. The lantern-lined paths winding throughout the massive park are filled with food of all kinds. Savory or sweet, vegan or carnivore, on a stick or in a bowl \u2013 whatever you\u2019re in the mood for, you\u2019ll find. Though half the fun is strolling around and seeing what aromas and sights pique your interest and tempt your taste buds. <\/p>\n<p>The Taste of Autumn Festival takes place on Saturday and Sunday, November 15 and 16, from 2-11 pm at England Brothers Park (5010 81st Ave N). <a href=\"http:\/\/Saturday and Sunday, November 15 and 16, from 2-11 pm at England Brothers Park (5010 81st Ave N)\" rel=\"nofollow\">Tickets and more information are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the biggest food festivals of the year is on its way.
