If you’re a cocktail lover in Vancouver, then there’s a brand new event in the city that you NEED to be at.
It’s called PUNCHBOWL, and it’s pretty much all the best things in life at one shindig: drinks, live music, and epic barbecue eats.

The inaugural PUNCHBOWL event will be going down on July 27 at the PNE Fairgrounds. There will be two tastings for this celebration: noon to 3:30 pm and 5 to 8:30pm.
Attendees will enjoy over 50 vendors sampling their awesome summer spirits, and all outdoors under the dreamy Vancouver summer skies while The Big Easy Funk Ensemble play the day away.
Expect to sip on craft beer, cocktails, and ciders while enjoying the stacked Chef Showcase presented by Gordon Food Service.
This showcase will feature Sean Reeve of the Mackenzie Room, Liam Breen of Verre, and Ian McHale of Wildebeest, but that’s not the only food-focused event going down at this fest.
The Smoker Throwdown presented by Intercity Packers will feature Dixies BBW and Smoke and Bones BBQ – AKA some mean BBQ eats are coming your way if you attend this event.
Be sure to buy your tickets because they definitely will go fast and you will want to get in, from there you can purchase tokens to enjoy samples and grub.
