Here is a select list of food & drink events happening around town between July and September 2025. They are most likely in Vancouver but I’ll try to cover Lower Mainland and beyond, as much as I can. Obviously, I can’t know everything and can’t cover everything, but I will continue to update this list until the next quarter comes. And I will cross out the events that have taken place so be sure to keep scrolling to see the upcoming events.
If you would like to submit an event for consideration, please email vanfoodies[at]gmail.com or fill out the submission form at the end of this page.
