What are you doing this weekend? I recommend gathering some friends and/or a date and getting tickets to Street Eats and Beats, a food cart and craft beer fest with local DJs taking place under Granville Bridge Friday, February 22 and Saturday, February 23. Tickets are available online for $30. This gets you six street food samples and two drinks. There’s also a gluten free and vegan version of the menu with tix for $20. Participating food carts after the jump.
