Devour! The Food Film Fest is back for its 15th anniversary, and this year, we’re bringing Montréal’s world-famous culinary scene to Wolfville! From October 20-26, 2025, prepare for a week-long celebration of food, film, and flavour featuring Michelin-starred chefs, award-winning filmmakers, and exciting new talent. In addition to our galas, culinary workshops and films, we have added three new events and will showcase Montreal musicians throughout this year’s Festival.

What began as a simple idea 15 years ago—pairing film with food for one transformative week—has put Nova Scotia on the map. We can’t wait to celebrate the incredible Canadian chefs and filmmakers shaping our food culture with all of you this Fall!
