Street Food and the Culinary Arts Collide at the City’s Premiere Celebration of Food Culture on August 5-7, 2016.

Arrival Agency’s popular summer food event—formerly known as Food Cart Fest—is back, bigger and better. Now known as YVR Food fest, it has evolved into a  into a weekend-long celebration of food culture in Vancouver and beyond. Consistently named one of the city’s top food events by the Georgia Straight and WestJet Magazine, YVR Food Fest is now in its fifth year.

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.

A signature event at YVR Food Fest that’s sure to become a yearly tradition for many is Gather, an outdoor long-table dinner on Saturday, August 6 on the patio at Science World. This 10-course tasting dinner made by local and international culinary talent will also feature pairings from the province’s top wineries. There are only 150 tickets available and attendees can come with a group or come alone leave with new friends. The wine pairings will be coordinated by Kurtis Kolt.

Also new this year is Food For Thought, a speaker series on Sunday, August 7 in the Omnimax Theatre at Science Word. Food For Thought is 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. A full list of speakers will be announced shortly.
