2024 Guide to Manitoba Fall Suppers

Posted August 27, 2024 | Author Shel Zolkewich

There’s a culinary rite of passage in Manitoba every autumn. It’s called the fall supper and permission is hereby granted to don your stretchy pants and head for a small town for roast turkey, freshly baked pie and an extra helping on hospitality.

Did we miss a fall supper? Send an email with the date, name, location, time and cost of the supper to bsewards@travelmanitoba.com to get added to the list.

Before you make your plans, here are our tips for attending a fall supper in the community near you:

· Fall suppers begin as early as mid-September and run until mid-November. The sweet spot of suppers seems to be the third week in October.

· Advanced tickets are almost always mandatory so make plans ahead of time.

· Most fall suppers offer a half-price deal for kids. Buffet is the style of choice. Second helpings are encouraged—just make sure you leave room for pie.

· You may have to do some sleuthing to find a fall supper near you if you can’t find your favourite on this list. Check grocery store bulletin boards, pay a visit to nearby community halls and ask your rural friends.

· Many fall suppers are organized by church groups, so be prepared to bow your head before your meal. Part of the blessing may also be delivered in a language other than English.
