Feast away on a delicious local Dungeness crab boil prepared by Chef Vish Mayekar with Chef Johnny Bridge, enjoy live music & games and sip on Twin Sails and Superflux Beer and Fabrique St-George wine and non-alcoholic drink options in the heart of False Creek.
Our mission is to raise awareness and make local Dungeness crab more accessible, so you can savour the taste of our coastal waters. Experience the flavours of BC while supporting local fishers in the heart of False Creek.
