Because of his long-standing marketing and brand work with the organization, he has attended for a long time and always described it as one of the best culinary events in Vancouver. This year, I finally got to experience it firsthand alongside my parents. I have to say, he did not exaggerate.

We leaned into the evening's elegant atmosphere with a bit of color coordination.

The organizers set up a beautifully lit photo area the exact second you walked through the doors into the main dining room. As someone who regularly forgets to take photos at parties, I gave them major brownie points for this.

My group didn’t have anything stolen - couldn’t tell you whether that’s because our preventative measures worked, or if the threat wasn’t as bad as we were led to believe.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is an admission fee for the crawl, which you pay at the first stop. You’ll get a wristband as well as the official Sunday fun day bark crawl tank top which you see me wearing in the photo here. I’m a sucker for some branded party merch - I think these tank tops are awesome and I continue to wear mine even back in Toronto. Girl math tells me that the bar crawl was free because my Sunday fun day shirt replaces the need to buy a souvenir. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral of the stops have pools, so wearing a swimsuit was a smart strategic call.
