Presented by the Chefs’ Table Society of B.C., the 10th annual Spot Prawn Festival takes place on Sunday (May 15) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at False Creek Fishermen’s Wharf (1505 West 1st Avenue).

This free, family-friendly event will offer entertainment, kids’ activities, and cooking demonstrations. Live and fresh prawns will be available for purchase.

Looking for a bite? Purchase an advance ticket for the spot-prawn boil to indulge in a tasty plate that includes three spot prawns paired with side dishes and breads from Terra Breads. 

Access to the drink tent with beer and wine samples is also included. (It’s restricted to those 19 and older.) Choose one of four time slots for your plate to be served to limit wait time at this high-volume festival.

Tickets ($17.50) can be purchased online.
