Arrival Agency’s popular summer food event—formerly known as Food Cart Fest—is back August 5 to 7th! This year it will be bigger and better. It is one of Vancouver’s summer top food event. New this year will be local and international culinary talent collaborating on long table dinners, food talks, private dinners, and cocktail parties.
The flagship event is the Street Food Showdown: a two-day gathering of 80+ food carts, restaurants, wineries and breweries in the Olympic Village. During this event participating food vendors will be offering up an unlimited tasting menu for a two-hour feeding frenzy. Early Bird price is $59 CAD each.
Another featured event is Gather, a collaborative long table dinner with ten local and international chefs on Saturday, August 6 on the patio at Science World. It features a 10 course tasting dinner alongside pairings from the province’s top wineries. I’m really looking forward to this event!
Food For Thought, a speaker series, is happening on Sunday, August 7 in the Omnimax Theatre at Science Word. It’s an evening of genuine and personal stories about food-related topics that engage, provoke, and inspire. Speakers will include chefs, farmers, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who bring their unique insight to the stage. The full list of speakers will be announced.
