Vancouver Cherry Blossom Food Festival

This year’s self-guided citywide food festival will feature over 23 participating vendors, including 7 brand-new vendors, offering dozens of exclusive festival items inspired by spring flavours and the beauty of cherry blossom season. 

From sakura-infused drinks and matcha desserts to creative pink-hued pastries and seasonal savoury bites, festival-goers can expect a vibrant mix of Instagram-worthy creations and comforting spring flavours. The full lineup of participating vendors and festival items will be revealed closer to the festival launch date. 

In addition to exploring limited-time creations, attendees can take part in the returning Festival Passport and Festival Missions activities. By collecting stamps for each festival item purchased or completing themed missions, participants will be entered into tiered prize draws for delicious rewards. 

Attendees who purchase multiple festival items at select vendors will receive a coin to play the gacha machine and win a surprise prize. Prizes range from gift cards and collectible buttons to free festival items, adding another playful and interactive element to the spring experience.
