Gastown BBQ & Chili Festival on Labour Day Weekend

 

Vancouver's historic Gastown hosted the first ever BBQ and Chili Festival on September 1-2, 2012 and attracted both locals and tourists by the hundreds. The event included BBQ & Chili competitions, live music, a chicken wing eating contest and even a pig roast.  Carrall Street was closed between Cordova and Water to make way for picnic tables, patios and food tents. Both the general public and celebrity judges voted on their favorite flavours and recipes.
