PNE Winter Fair Food

Season's Eatings at the 2022 PNE Winter Fair

Season’s Eatings – brought to you by YVR.

This holiday season, YVR is celebrating the destinations, cultures and food that make up the best our region has to offer. No matter what your holiday celebrations look like, one thing always remains the same – we gather and connect with one another through food. YVR is on a journey to showcase the diversity of our region in the culinary offerings at the airport. Follow along at yvr.ca/SeasonsEatings.

We hope that you come with your appetite in ‘holiday mode‘ because there’s a feast of international flavours to be enjoyed at the PNE Winter Fair!

With more than 20 vendors serving up a wide variety of dishes – from nori-wrapped Sushi Tacos and Portuguese Custard Tarts (at Casa De Nata), to Persian kababs (from Cazba) and Asian dinners at Salt Spring Noodle Bar – there are delicious vegan, vegetarian, meat, and even gluten-free treats to enjoy.

Get your Fair favourites fix with mini-donuts, hot dogs, and kettle corn, or try something a little more adventurous, like Holiday Poutine (at Street Dogs), Grilled Turkey and Cranberry Sandwiches (at Mom’s Grilled Cheese Truck), or the Holiday Fried Chicken Sandwich with cranberry aioli and gravy (at Hot & Crispy).
