Are beer and tacos a drink and food combination you can't resist? If so then you're in luck because there is a food festival making its debut in several Ontario cities in the upcoming months that is serving up just that.

For the first time ever the I Heart Beer & Taco Festival is coming to Ontario, presented by Cowbell Brewing in collaboration with Fury Hot Sauce, and they are hitting seven cities in the province.

Why you should care: Looking for something fun to do during the coldest months of the year can be tough sometimes, but this festival might be one of the things to get you out of your funk because there will be loads of things to drink, eat and do.

ICYMI: The festival's first location is in Toronto, and the event is taking place on February 17 at the Enercare Centre, followed by Hamilton on February 23 and 24, Ottawa, March 1 and 2, Kitchener, March 8 and 9, London, March 15 and 16, Niagara, March 23 and Guelph, April 27.
