Events Description

 
A celebration of COLD drink creations from the vendors of the Hot Chocolate Festival.

This year’s theme is: “Proud to be Canadian”. Thus the time-limited, cold drinks and treats created by our participating vendors exclusively for this self-guided festival will be celebrating our national identity. Look for the use of locally grown ingredients and creative designs that reference Canadian cultural icons, heritage and personality traits. Check out the vendors and flavours listed below. You won’t be sorry. This summer, you’ll discover – it’s Kool to be Canadian!

For a limited time only, our vendors will be creating the most refreshing, creative and totally delicious ICED drinks Greater Vancouver has ever experienced. Whether you love chilled chocolate milk, milkshakes, mochas, floats or affogado-style dishes, you’ll find your dream drink here. And not only chocolate …there will be iced coffee, shakeratos, fruit juice slushies, ice tea, and bubble teas featured as well. Don’t miss out! Once the festival ends they will be off the menu forever.
