About this event

  • 5 hours

Foodstock is a one day fundraiser festival supporting the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. Join us for a fun day on the lawn at Swangard Stadium, with grown up drinks, food, games and live music!

The stage will feature Yukon Blonde and The Matinee with support from Mivule, The Hausplants, and Suppertime!

Many of our brewery partners from last year are returning to Beverage Boulevard, sponsored by Zipby, including Luppolo Brewing Company, Dageraad Brewing, Parallel 49 Brewing, Main Street Beer, Kits Beach Beer and Pacific Breeze Winery. 50% of every drink sold will benefit the GVFB and our clients.

The field will be filled with fun and games, so come prepared to play!

Food trucks will be back, including Ay! Mamacita, Crema Ice Cream, Food Daddy, Chickpea, and Munchu Picchu with 10% of all food sales being donated to the GVFB.

And the very popular Marketplace returns with many of last years favourites, including A Healthy Beginning, Burnaby Art Gallery, Liberum Studio, Shoebox Art, The Candy Curio, Euonoia Naturale, The Not So Early Bird, Hail Claytan, Rach Crochets, Iron Mountain Ventures, MAGS and KRU and INK Temporary Tattoos, and 10% of sales being donated to the GVFB.

More artists, food trucks and marketplace vendors still to be announced!

Tickets are $35 (plus fees and taxes). Each ticket includes one full sized beverage from one of our drink partners.

This is a 19+ event. All attendees will be required to show appropriate identification before accessing the venue.

No. Swangard field is used for a wide variety of high level sporting events. The City of Burnaby does not allow animals into Swangard Stadium or on the field. Service animals are the exception.

Can I bring my kids?

No. This is a 19+ event. We have nothing against kids, but this is meant to be a chill day of grown up fun playing yard games, enjoying live music and drinking adult beverages. No kids allowed, including babies.

The Greater Vancouver Food Bank provides direct food assistance to approximately 1`6,000 individuals per month in Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the North Shore. In addition, we provide food support to 140 Agencies in these communities, such as housing agencies, women and children's shelters and after-school programs, who then provide hot meals and snacks to thousands more. We focus heavily on providing the nutritious foods that food insecure individuals often can not afford and are proud that more than 65% of what we provide is fresh produce, dairy and protein.
