Hot Dog Love ran from August 26–September 4, 2026
For 10 delicious days, local restaurants served their own unique hot dog creations.
The community voted for their favourite. A panel of local judges also tasted and scored each creation before we crowned our Judges’ Choice and People’s Choice winners.
