About Dine Out Vancouver Festival
In 2002, a group of local food and wine enthusiasts got together with the Destination Vancouver team and pitched a fixed-price menu deal to get Vancouverites out and into restaurants during a typically slow time of the year. Twenty-three years later, Dine Out Vancouver Festival has become Canada’s largest food and drink festival. Dine Out Vancouver Festival is supported, in part, by Community Partners: Fortis BC, Air Canada, Downtown Vancouver, The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver, Evo Car Share, Stay Vancouver Hotels and Hullo Ferries. Its Charitable Partner is the BC Hospitality Foundation.
