Celebrate BC is a new festival celebrating BC Day on August 4th in 2025. It takes place at Town Centre Park in Coquitlam. At the event there will be live entertainment, food trucks, BC wine, BC craft beers, and family-friendly activities, including a zipline. There will also be a massive salmon barbeque. Admission to the event is free. You have to pay for the food you buy, however, and for the ziplining (unless you win free tickets)!

Celebrate BC Contest: Win Salmon and Ziplining Gift Certificates

Celebrate BC is BC’s official event celebrating BC Day which happens on the first Monday of August each year.

Celebrate BC, however, is a festival dedicated to celebrating and showcasing everything about British Columbia, including its foods, drinks, people, history and multicultural makeup.

Between July 25th and July 31st (by noon), if you signed up for our monthly e-newsletter, you would have been entered to win two ziplining tickets and two gift certificates for the salmon at the Celebrate BC event. You would also have been entered to win a $50 Gordon Ramsay Burger gift certificate. (Note: If you were already a newsletter subscriber, you could have e-mailed us at info@vancouversbestplaces.com and asked to be entered that way instead.)

On Thursday, July 31st, 2025, Vancouver’s Best Places did a random draw where five (5) lucky people won a pair of salmon and ziplining tickets for the Celebrate BC Day event on August 4th. They also won two salmon barbecue gift certificates and two ziplining gift certificates. One lucky person also won the $50 Gordon Ramsay Burger gift certificate.
