READ ABOUT THE NEW FESTIVAL FORMAT
This year, there are three ways to enjoy the Spot Prawn Festival:
- FREE - access to the docks, view cooking demos and more
- $10 - Spot Prawn Chowder - to go if you want.
- $60 - A grazing style tasting menu with a selection of 6 delicious spot prawn dishes.
The same family-friendly festival remains with live cooking demos featuring some of Vancouver's top chefs, live music, kid-friendly fun and more! While this part of the festival is free, to enjoy any of the delicious food prepared by our chefs, tickets are required.
This event is the Chefs' Table Society's main fundraising event so it can continue to provide education, mentorship and sustainability initiatives across the province.

NEW: A TASTING MENU OF 6 SPOT PRAWN DISHES
A wonderful idea for Mother's Day weekend: a grazing event to enjoy six delicious spot prawn dishes that showcase the many ways this delicacy can be served.
Dishes will be prepared by some of BC's finest chefs, a nice way to sample various creations and for you to say hello to the chefs as you move between the food stations and savour samples of wine from Evolve Cellars, beer and coffee from Mogiana Coffee.
Two services are available:
- 11:30 am to 1 pm
- 1:30 pm to 3 pm
Tickets for the grazing event are $60.00 per person (plus tax and service fee) and include a delicious tasting menu consisting of six spot prawn dishes, wine and beer samples, bread from Terra Breads, and a coffee and treat to end your meal.

- Pacific Prawn Fishermen's Association (PPFA) and their fishermen

- A&B Party Rentals
- Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts (PICA)
