The Lakeshore Village BIA is proud to announce the return of the 5^th annual Grilled Cheese Challenge, proudly sponsored by Furlani. In support of Women’s Habitat, this dearly missed event will commence on Saturday, June 11, 2022, from 11:00am to 9:00pm along Lakeshore Boulevard West from Islington (Seventh St) to Second St.      

“Let the fun begin. Furlani®, a family-friendly brand, is super excited to be the title sponsor of this year’s Grilled Cheese Challenge, a community event that will bring joy to everyone. “We are proud to be partnering with Women’s Habitat of Etobicoke, an amazing multi-service organization that works hard every day for the women and children in our community, impacted by violence and poverty. Please come by Furlani booth to enjoy some entertainment, and by Women’s Habitat booth to try a new Furlani® grilled cheese sandwich creation. All sandwich proceeds will go to funding their vital programs,” says Jackie Brenkel, Head of Marketing at Furlani Foods.

   “The Grilled Cheese Challenge combines a delicious sandwich with the Lakeshore Village community. It’s been such an amazing experience being able to see not only locals, but everyone getting involved,” says Alison Tunley, board member of the Lakeshore Village BIA.

   As Ontario’s most significant celebration of grilled cheese sandwiches, this year’s festival is projected to attract 28,000+ attendees from Toronto and surrounding communities with exceptional food, live entertainment & special feature programming.

   For a unique incentive, the festival challenges local culinary enthusiasts to create one-of-a-kind grilled cheese sandwiches for a chance to win. There are  three prize categories available and each winner will have the opportunity to select a gift card to a business within the Lakeshore Village BIA.
