(Already checked in for The Hike? You’re good to go — no need to check in again.)

Stick around in the registration area for important announcements from our host, Noah Cappe, before we set off!

Your registration package includes:

Event wristbands (please put these on right away)
Event booklet
Wine glass — your tasting glass for the weekend (reuse it, keep it close!)

*Please note* If you’re attending multiple events, you’ll receive everything you need at your very first check-in.

The Hike — 10:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

At 10:45 a.m., the adventure begins!

Chef stations will open in staggered intervals (not all at once), so please be patient. Our Hike chefs are “Come From Aways” and may need a few extra minutes to get cozy with Newfoundland’s weather.

Along the trail, you’ll discover five chef stations, each featuring a one-of-a-kind dish crafted with local Newfoundland & Labrador ingredients. There will also be one wine station and one beer station along the route.

Please only visit each station once.

A note on pours: Newfoundland & Labrador Liquor rules mean servers can only pour 2 oz. wine and 4 oz. beer per samples.

The Dessert Picnic — 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

End your hike on a sweet note!

Head to Gary Baker Memorial Park for dessert, locally roasted coffee and tea, and a front-row look at the spectacular cakes from Duff’s Cake-Off, all on display and ready to wow.

Live music along the trail.

As you make your way along The Hike, you’ll encounter live musicians at each station! Each group will perform for about two hours, so while there won’t be music playing continuously along the entire route, there will be plenty of tunes to enjoy as you explore.

Just like the chef stations, performances are staggered, so not all music kicks off at 11:00 a.m.—every stop has its own special rhythm!
