Indian Summer Festival is a contemporary multi-arts festival that takes place over eleven days every July in Vancouver, Canada. Named as #1 of the five best Canadian festivals “worth planning your summer travels around” by Westjet Magazine, the festival presents a combination of free and ticketed events, including music, ideas (writers & thinkers), visual art and public engagement (free performances/public art projects). From novelists to Grammy Award-winning musicians, international visionaries to oral storytellers, Indian Summer Festival has presented emerging artists as well as Nobel, Booker, Grammy and Oscar prize nominees on its stages.

Join one of the city’s most sought-after summer parties. Glamorous guests, fine sips, and food conjured up by Vancouver’s top culinary artists have made this a sold-out event seven years in a row.

In keeping with the festival’s 2018 theme ‘Mythmaking’, culinary superstar Vikram Vij invites an epic gathering of the city’s top chefs to take you on a gastronomic journey around the world. Add to that sonic treats from local and international musicians and arty surprises, and you have a veritable feast of creativity.

Be sure to don your finest (the cameras will be out), and bring an appetite and your dancing shoes. Your ticket includes food and a complimentary beverage.

Our culinary artists represent the following restaurants: Vij’s, Blue Water Cafe, Cedar Feast House, Jamjar, Cacao, Tayybeh, ARC at the Fairmont Waterfront, James’ Gelato, and more.
