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. 24 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 FortisBC, Downtown Vancouver, Evo Car Share, Hullo Ferries, Stay Vancouver Hotels, The Vancouver Attractions Group, Air Canada and The Westin Bayshore Vancouver. Its Charitable Partner is the BC Hospitality Foundation.
