UBC Harvest ‘Feastival’ to Combine Season’s Best Flavours with Night of Arts & Culture


One of the best things about the beginning of autumn is all of the seasonal foods and flavours we get to enjoy! The UBC Farm’s latest harvest will be making its spectacular debut on September 28th, at the campus’ annual Harvest Feastival. What’s a “Feastival”, you ask? Well, at UBC it’s a combination of the best stuff of life: a multi-course meal and a “Choose Your Own Advenure” style night of activities at the University’s Arts & Culture District. After you’ve filled your belly with a tantalising Fall-inspired menu along with 999 other guests, your options await…You can work out your brain at one of the scientific or awareness-raising art exhibits and talks; have a laugh at an improv comedy show featuring UBC alumni; get your groove on at the MOA’s soul dance party; or simply digest while watching an orchestral open rehearsal. Decisions, decisions! Prepare your stomach and get your tickets ASAP for what’s sure to be a memorable and exciting event!

Thu, Sept. 28 | 5-11pm | University Commons (outside the Nest) | $10-45 (Children under 2 are free) | TICKETS
