Tickets go on sale December 1 for the March event

Pro tip: Book March 3 to 10, 2024, off work right now. That’s when Vancouver Cocktail Week, presented by The Alchemist, returns to town, and you won’t want to miss one spirited minute of it.

The city’s third annual celebration of Vancouver cocktail culture will have even more bar stars from Canada and around the world shaking things up with planned takeovers and mid-week pop-ups at Vancouver’s most popular cocktail venues.

But there will also be all the cocktail-paired dinners, seminars, master classes, tasting events, neighbourhood crawls and spectacular parties that have become a highlight of the March calendar for cocktail enthusiasts, supported by dozens of brand sponsors pouring their best products for you.

Two signature events you won’t want to miss: The traditional Punch Brunch that kicks things off on March 3 and Vancouver Cocktail Week’s main event, the Green Garden closing gala, on March 9. A selection of global brand ambassadors will be on hand for this, with top bartenders creating a bower of botanicals in each glass. Plus there will be hot tunes, fine food and so much more.

And everyone should take part in the unticketed Cinq à Sept series of elevated happy hours in the best Vancouver cocktail bars across the city, many of them featuring guest shifts by out-of-town bartenders.

Finally, no celebration of community can go without supporting those who make it possible, especially when they need it most, so Vancouver Cocktail Week is proud to announce that a portion of ticket sales will once again go to our charity partner, the BC Hospitality Foundation, and its scholarship program.

Tickets for Vancouver Cocktail Week go on sale December 1. For tickets or to browse the Vancouver Cocktail Week 2024 program guide, visit thealchemistmagazine.ca/vcw, or sign up for our newsletter to receive event and ticket information as it is released.
