We love a birthday party, especially when that birthday party is celebrating one of the city’s most iconic breweries.

Granville Island Brewing, one of Canada’s original microbreweries, is celebrating its 38th birthday this year.

To mark the occasion, the brewery is hosting a huge event on Saturday, May 14.

There will be plenty of delicious bites from local food trucks, games, live entertainment, and the award-winning beer from Granville Island will be flowing the whole day, of course.

Some of the entertainment you can expect from the event includes performances by Teon Gibbs & Clear Mortifee, “energetic beats” from Hitmen Drumline, and live painting from some of the artists involved in the Vancouver Mural Fest.

Everyone who attends will receive a free food sample, and those who are of legal drinking age will get a can of Granville Island’s recently reintroduced Peach Sour.

Glasses of beer at the event will cost only $5, with partial proceeds going to the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute.

The event is free and open to the public, but registering for a timeslot is encouraged if you plan to be there for a specific time.
