Eat! Vancouver is the largest consumer food festival in Canada.[1] It takes place annually in Vancouver, British Columbia. The three-day festival is held at BC Place, and showcases restaurants and food suppliers from British Columbia and across Canada.[2] Chefs compete in several cooking competitions;[3] one is for apprentice chefs, the Junior Culinary Competition.[4]
History
Founded by George Acs and Heather Angeard, the first Eat! Vancouver festival took place in 2003 at BC Place;[5] that year, there were 12 chefs and 95 exhibitors.[6] The 2005 festival had 30 celebrity chefs using three stages, and added an annual barbecue and chili competition which had previously run separately at Westminster Quay since the 1990s.[6]
In 2011 the festival moved to the Vancouver Convention Centre, but returned to BC Place in 2012.
2020 saw the event go on hiatus until 2021.
