Jigg's Dinner

Jiggs Dinner is a deeply traditional, hearty meal in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL), consisting of salt beef, root vegetables like turnip, carrots, cabbage, and potatoes, along with pease pudding. It is a popular Sunday or holiday meal, reflecting a strong sense of family connectedness and our historical influences from Ireland, England and Scotland. In celebration of the festive time of the year, our shared meal with also be complemented with Roasted Turkey and all the traditional trimmings – stuffing, cranberry sauce and of course, gravy! To be followed with traditional NL holiday desserts.

We welcome you to join us for an afternoon of holiday craft making, family-friendly games and activities, gingerbread house decorating, and cultural exchange as our team of amazing volunteers prepare our festive feast. This is a family friendly event and space is limited to 60 people. We look forward to welcoming the holidays with you on December 14th with Jigg's Dinner and a Celebration!
