In Italy, it is a tradition to roast chestnuts in the fall. There is even a traditional social event, called La Castagnata, which is something the Italo-Canadian Club of Kingston hosts each year, welcoming members and guests to enjoy freshly roasted chestnuts while sipping on wine and socializing with family and friends.The bar will be open, offering specialty Christmas Cocktails (and regular bar staples), and a complimentary coffee/tea/hot chocolate station will be set-up for anyone to enjoy.
Last year, we combined this annual event with a Christmas Market and it was a success, so we're doing it again!
