As we look ahead to 2026, the Manitoba Restaurant & Foodservices Association continues to grow and strengthen our commitment to the three pillars that guide everything we do — Advocacy, Education, and Innovation. 

To ensure we can keep investing in meaningful programs, industry support, and initiatives that benefit all members, our membership fees will be increasing by $25 for 2026.

However, we’re pleased to offer a way to lock in savings:

Commit to a 3-year auto-renewal plan and save $25 on your membership for each year!

Your continued support allows us to advocate for Manitoba’s food service industry, provide valuable resources, and build a stronger community together.

Take a minute to hear directly from Shaun, our CEO, as he shares an update about the membership fee increase and how it supports our industry moving forward.

A message from Shaun Jeffrey, CEO and Executive Director of the MRFA.

2025 will mark the return of a 30-year staple in our industry's history with the return of A Taste of Manitoba. This popular food festival is a personal mission for me, having participated in the past, where I saw the industry come together to showcase the best in locally owned hospitality, all in an environment at Fort Gibraltar that will set the benchmark for the next level of food festivals.

What can you expect?

1. 10,000 Manitobans gathering to sample the best in Manitoba cuisine and locally made beverages August 28th to September 1st, 2025.

2. Amazing local entertainment 

3. Food and beverage contests that will bring to light the best of the best.

4. The best in local artists and crafters in the Travel Manitoba vendor village.

How can you promote your business and participate at the same time? Easy… be a Taste of Manitoba sponsor that will get you tickets to this roller coaster of food, fun, and fellowship… Let's GO and join us in knocking this one out of the park…..or the fort… can't wait to see you there. 

Today is the day we host our holiday thanking our wonderful board for all they have accomplished this past year
