Announcing the Third Annual BC Gin Festival: An Indian Summer Arts Society Fundraiser

We’re thrilled to announce the return of one of our most spirited events: the 3rd Annual BC Gin Festival, taking place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre in Vancouver, BC.

This lively celebration of British Columbia and beyond’s craft distilling culture brings together diverse artisans working with unique, inspired, and local ingredients. Every bottle distilled tells a story and this festival invites you to taste them all.

With unlimited tastings, a custom keepsake glass, and access to more than 100 exceptional gins from 30+ distilleries, BC Gin Festival offers an immersive journey. Wander through our botanical marketplace, meet the distillers and mixologists redefining what gin can be, explore our onsite bottle shop, and enjoy delicious bites from local food vendors. A silent auction and raffle with distillery tours, gin bundles, and special prizes add even more excitement to the night.

You can attend the festival by purchasing a ticket to any or all of the following:

• Evening Tasting for the enthusiasts looking for a curated, in-depth experience

  • 5:30 - 7:30pm, $85.00 + taxes and VAT

This year’s lineup showcases an impressive roster of distilleries, including Copper Penny Distilling, Sheringham Distillery, Holocene Distilling, Salish Sea Spirits, Bruinwood Estate Distillery, and many more featured on bcginfestival.com. 

All proceeds from the BC Gin Festival directly support the Indian Summer Arts Society and our year-round work uplifting diverse artistic voices.

We can’t wait to raise a glass with you and cheers to the spirit of B.C.
