The 26th Annual European Festival Is Coming in 2026!
Get ready for a day of entertainment, culinary delights, and cultural celebration! The European Festival is an annual event dedicated to promoting unity, identity, diversity, and heritage across the Lower Mainland. By celebrating and preserving Europe’s rich cultural traditions here in Canada, Eurofest helps build a stronger, more inclusive, and vibrant European community — and it’s an event that welcomes anyone with a love of European culture. We can’t wait to see you there this May!
If you’d like to help shape this year’s festival, now is the time to get involved. We are actively looking for Individual Members, European Society Members, and Business or Corporate Members to join our planning efforts. Membership fees are $25 for Individuals, $60 for Societies, and $75 for Businesses. Please note that performance time slots for Society Members are first come, first served, so we encourage you to pay your 2026 membership fees as soon as possible so the Board can plan accordingly. Payments are accepted via e-transfer to kecia@europeanfestival.ca, or by cash or cheque mailed to 1573 East 18th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, Canada V5N 2H4.
Planning a successful festival takes a village! Each participating country should have at least one representative attending planning sessions, along with two volunteers ready to help run the event on the day. We are also collecting donations for our Silent Auction, including gift certificates, monetary donations, and gift items. A sponsorship letter is available to download on our website if you know any local business owners who might like to get involved or contribute.
Are you interested in participating as a vendor, exhibitor, or performer? Simply download and complete the Vendor/Exhibitor/Performer Form and return it to info@europeanfestival.ca by April 2nd, 2026. We are also happy to add a link to our website to help promote your club or society to our members and the general public. Visit the Events section of our website for more details, and we’ll see you in May for the 26th edition of Eurofest!
