Join 500 foodies and wine lovers as the Vancouver Aquarium is transformed into a magical after-hours experience, in support of our conservation and education programs.
Set against the enchanting backdrop of the Aquarium at night, this is one of those special nights where young professionals gather to celebrate great wine, fine food—and most importantly—the greater social conscience that has made Toast to the Coast one of the Aquarium’s top fundraising events. Nosh on exquisite canapés from leading Ocean Wise™ Restaurants, sample the best of B.C.’s local wines, enjoy live music from DJ Leanne and leave with chic items from the silent auction.
Plan a safe ride home from the event! Vancouver Trolley Company will be running trolleys between Waterfront Station and the Vancouver Aquarium. First trolley to leave Waterfront Station at 7:30 p.m., last trolley to leave Vancouver Aquarium at 11:45 p.m. Waterfront Station pick-up point is just west of the transit stop by Rogue Restaurant - Look for an old fashioned Vancouver Trolley!
