About Dine Out Vancouver Festival:
Back in 2002 a group of food and wine enthusiasts got together with the team at Destination Vancouver and pitched the idea of a fixed-price menu deal to get Vancouverites out and into restaurants during a normally slow time of the year. 22 years later, Dine Out Vancouver Festival has grown into 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 and Stay Vancouver Hotels. Its Charitable Partner is the BC Hospitality Foundation.
