Thirsty Chef: 10th Anniversary

Get ready to celebrate a decade of deliciousness at The Drake Eatery & Craft Beer Parlour with the Thirsty Chef festival back in action at historic Market Square!

The Market Square courtyard transformed into a foodie paradise with a dozen stations, each pairing a local culinary maestro with a top-notch brewery. Dive into mouthwatering dishes and killer brews, discovering epic flavor combos that’ll have you craving more.

But wait, there’s more! Live local tunes will be filling the air, adding that festival flair to an afternoon packed with flavor and fun.

Thirsty Chef isn’t just about good times—it’s also about giving back. This year, we’re raising funds for the Victoria Cool Aid Society, making every sip and bite count towards a great cause.

Tickets cover all your food, a rad commemorative beer glass, and a chunk that goes straight to the Victoria Cool Aid Society. Purchase beer tasters by the glass. 19+ only.
