The weather is warming. March Break and Easter are quickly approaching. So get out and celebrate the first ever Beach-a-licious - the Beach neighborhood’s restaurant and bar festival from March 14-27, 2016.

Fifteen local restaurants/bars will be participating on Queen East between Coxwell Avenue and Victoria Park, offering specially priced menus and other items.

In addition there will be a chance to "Eat to Win" through ballots and online prize draws at each establishment. Using a Beach-a-licious Passport, eating at one establishment earns 1 ballot, eating at two earns 2 more ballots, and so on. All prizes have been sourced through Queen Street merchants and restaurants.

Participating restaurants for the two week festival include:

- BAM! Breakfast & Bistro

- Beach Side Grill

- Breakwall BBQ & Smokehouse

- Casa Di Giorgio Restaurant
