If hanging out in Gastown is your favourite summer pastime, we’ve got great news for you. Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhood is once again celebrating its history, art, and cuisine with a free street party this August, so get ready for this year’s ‘Meet Me in Gastown’ festival!
Festival-goers get to indulge in the best eats in town, with local restaurants and pubs setting up at Maple Tree Square and along Water Street with bites priced between $4 and $17 each.
They’ll also get to enjoy live music at the Maple Tree Square Stage, and sip on bevies at Monarca or Guilt & Co.’s extended cocktail patios.
