Join us for an evening of outstanding tacos, local drinks (including our very own 'Vancouver Island Margarita'!), live music and more!

Each year, the Food Eco District (FED) has an annual summer party to raise funds and awareness, and this year we've decided to put on a taco cook-off between local chefs, using produce from grocers deemed too conventionally ‘ugly’ to sell.

We hope to raise awareness about food waste, how it impacts food security here on Vancouver Island and ways we make more of the food we love.

Tickets available online for $35 (includes first drink & food!).
Doors open at 5PM.
The Fort Common is close to many transit routes and is wheelchair accessible.
This is a 19+ event.

All proceeds will go towards maintaining our many edible gardens around town so that we can continue to beautify our streets and inspire more urban agriculture in the city and beyond!
