This shindig — which coins itself as the largest of its kind in Canada — is happening from Aug. 9 to 10 at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium.

Thousands of attendees are expected to enjoy exciting live performances, interactive games, and, of course, delicious food and drinks

The best part is that admission to the Canada Bubble Tea Festival is free.

fests are overpriced nonsense. buy product A at the f st, 15$

go to their actual store and get the same thing, but it's somehow higher quality and only $7

I will never partake in these ripoff fests again.

Agreed. Any “fest” is usually a load of overpriced crap.

That's fair, personally I enjoy them when I go with friends. I get a chance to catch up with friends and enjoy the atmosphere, then head somewhere else for lunch/dinner. I thought this one might be fun for the free performances / games, and if it's terrible then there's always the rest of Burnaby Central Park

We can do all of those things outside an event too, but making plans attached to events helps in some way

going to hang out and whatnot is always good, guess I didn't think about the fun of just walking around with friends. helps when friends do things, or show they are friends I guess.
