KITCHENER The Summer Solstice Crawl returned this weekend, after taking a year off due to the pandemic. The event is a local initiative aimed at supporting small businesses. “This is something that we’ve done for many years in Uptown [Waterloo],” says Tracy Van Kalsbeek, the executive director of the Uptown Waterloo BIA. “We encourage people to come and visit restaurants in Uptown and do basically a pub crawl, but it’s more like a food crawl.” Participants will be visiting 14 different restaurants over the next few weeks. Each location is featuring a different item for the tour. “Arugula salad from Prohibition Warehouse, Dana Shortt and her shortbreads are amazing,” says Van Kalsbeek. “There’s ice cream as well at Scoop du Jour.”
