Venue: The south plaza at Deer Lake Park, just behind the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, at 6450 Deer Lake Ave.
Tips: Tourism Burnaby insists there’s no dress code, but we suggest cool but casual cocktail attire. Also, if you’re a foodie and you have questions about the food, the chefs serving are usually happy to explain.
