Foodstock 2024: Spring music festival returns to raise funds for food bank
Need a reason to justify spending your money on a music festival with plenty of delicious food and drinks? Well, what if we told you the money you spent would go towards a good cause?
The Greater Vancouver Food Bank is bringing back Foodstock, a one-day fundraiser festival on June 23 at Swangard Stadium.
Yukon Blonde and The Matinee are both set to perform, and there’s a pretty sweet lineup of food and drink vendors. Additionally, there will be a marketplace for you to shop from some local stores.

Fifty per cent of proceeds from beverages sold will go towards the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, and 10% of proceeds from food and market will also go towards them.
