The 4th Annual Eats & Beats at the Beach happens Saturday, July 7, 2018. Join a few thousand friends on Colwood's breathtaking oceanfront beach with live bands, favourite local food trucks, a street market, kayaking and SUP, a climbing wall, and FREE fun stuff all day long. The event takes place about midway along Esquimalt Lagoon on Ocean Boulevard, which is closed to through traffic so the party happens on the street, sand, sea and sky.

Non-stop fun: Get out on the water and go for a paddle in a kayak or stand up paddle board with West Coast Outdoor Adventure. Flex your muscles on the Eats & Beats climbing wall. Fully staffed and equipped with an auto belay system to let you down easy, it's a fun, safe, outdoor activity.

Check out Colwood’s amazing driftwood art sculptures and watch more creations come to life before your eyes throughout the event.

Stroll along the street market and pick up local treasures, have a laugh with street performers, and watch the navy's fire boat ballet on the water. Go for some body art, then capture the moment by getting your caricature done, or taking a silly face-in-the-hole selfie. Meet your favourite local team mascots as they get up to some crazy antics - Harvey the Harbour Cat, Marty the Marmot, and Rocky Raccoon.

Enjoy all the best beach food Dig in to hot eats from all the local favourites, like Deadbeetz, L’Authentique Poutine and Burgers, Molly’s Fish & Chips, Ali Baba Pizza, Mai Mai's, JUSU Juice, Grilled to the Mac, Road Treasure Treats, the Red BarnBQ, Greek on the Street, Discovery Coffee, and more to come!
