Fresh St. Market Halibut Festival

West Vancouver’s Fresh St. Market (1650 Marine Drive) hosts its first ever Halibut Festival on Saturday, May 25, 2013. From 11 am to 5 pm, the entire community is invited to celebrate the season’s biggest catch, halibut, with food demonstrations from local chefs, children’s activities, contests, wine tastings, and tours aboard a 30-foot fishing boat. About 10,000 lbs. of fresh, Ocean Wise halibut from B.C.’s Haida Gwaii region will be available for purchase. In addition, on-site barbequed halibut burgers and drinks are available with a donation of $5, with all proceeds going towards Cops for Cancer, supporting the local West Vancouver police department.
