Did you know?  These spot prawns “have a 4-year life cycle and start as males then transition to females in their last year.”

Most spot prawns are harvested from the waters between Vancouver and Vancouver Island.  The fresh catch is delivered straight from the ocean to local vendors, ensuring each bite is as fresh as it gets.

Don’t forget to pair your spot prawns with a refreshing drink from local breweries or enjoy a tasty seafood cocktail.  This festival offers the perfect setting to relax, unwind, and savour the tastes of the Pacific.

The Spot Prawn Festival is the ultimate destination for seafood lovers.  So, gather your friends and family, and experience the Pacific’s best prawns.

You’ll be going back for seconds!
