Tasty street food, music and fun – all for a great cause – is set for The Wexford on Saturday, June 15.
Jane Bryce, general manager of The Wexford, is one of many who have faced Alzheimer’s in their family.
Her mother-in-law Ann lived with and died of Alzheimer’s, an experience that rattled the entire family.
Bryce and The Wexford Team are harnessing the power of their first-rate culinary team to host a Street Food Festival and raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society of BC.
“The Alzheimer’s Society of BC provides critical support, education and advocacy for people living with Alzheimer’s. They also fund life-changing research,” she said. “We want to be part of that and invite the people of Tsawwassen to join us.”
Diverse flavours and vibrant cuisine are the signatures of street food, and that’s what you’ll find in the parking lot of The Wexford from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“We’ve got something exciting for everyone,” says executive chef Sean McCarthy.
Expect food offerings of Thai chicken tacos, barbecue salmon, cheeseburgers, Caprese stackers, Peri-Peri fries and some cool drinks.
Hungry guests can enjoy each item on the menu for $5, with a portion of each ticket going towards the Alzheimer’s Society of BC.
“We know people like to mix and match,” said Sean. “We want to give you the option to sample a bit of everything.”
Tickets will be purchased at the main cashier and can be used at any of six stations.
Sit down and enjoy your street food selections while listening to live music by Gerry and Trevor Layton. The father-son duo will rock you through the decades and across continents with their signature guitar-centric sound.
“This is something easy we can do to help ease people’s pain and bring change to their lives,” said Bryce. “It’s an opportunity to be generous and leave with a full belly and a fun experience.”
