We love food and checking out foodie events in and around East Vancouver. Honestly, there are a swack of them to choose from this summer and into the fall months. Some from past experience we’ve learnt do sell out quickly. Thus, if there is something that’s up your alley, we recommend grabbing tickets sooner vs. later. Whether you like pie, cookbooks, BBQ, wine, cocktails or cheese, we think there’s something for everyone.
