After a sold-out inaugural event, the Divers’ Catch Festival returns for one unforgettable evening celebrating British Columbia’s most prized and sustainably harvested seafood.

Join us at the historic Gulf of Georgia Cannery in Steveston for an immersive culinary experience featuring geoduck, sea urchin, and sea cucumber—three remarkable species harvested by hand from our coastal waters by the fishing families and coastal communities who have stewarded these fisheries for generations.
