  • Lonsdale Quay 30th Anniversary Long Table Dinner Event

    Lonsdale Quay 30th Anniversary Corks and Forks – Hard to believe it’s been 30 years since the Lonsdale Quay set up shop in North Vancouver. Known for its mini markets, eclectic shops, fresh food and amazing views of the waterfront and city, the Quay is a staple with locals and tourists alike. Celebrating with a special Corks and Forks long table dinner, Quay executives and special guests toasted the occasion in style with a night that featured local beers and wine, a hearty three-course dinner (prepared by local market merchants), and live entertainment.

     

  • Halloween at Lonsdale Quay North Vancouver

    pinkprincess.jpgPretty princesses, superheroes, witches and more were out on the prowl last weekend at North Vancouver’s Lonsdale Quay Market. This special holiday Halloween afternoon, designed with the kids in mind, was a great way to celebrate the season’s scariest day in a safe and fun atmosphere. In Kid’s Alley there was lots of activities including pumpkin decorating, spooky story-telling, face-painting and a costume contest with prizes. Meanwhile, down below in the market, kids could go trick-or-treating to all the merchants for goodies galore.
