The word "craft" gets thrown around a lot in the world of distilling, whether it be a descriptor of a distillery or a category on a bar menu. In British Columbia, “craft distillery” is a protected designation. To be recognized as a BC Craft Distillery, producers must:

• Make no more than 50,000 litres of spirit per year

• Use 100% BC-grown agricultural products to create their alcohol

• Ferment and distill everything onsite

These standards ensure that every bottle supports local farmers, local jobs, and local innovation. So when you visit the BC Gin Festival or buy from a BC Craft Distilleries, you’re truly tasting the spirit of our province.

BC Gin Festival is a fundraiser for the Indian Summer Arts Society, a not-for-profit secular arts organization and registered charity based in Vancouver. Indian Summer is dedicated to centering and uplifting South Asian and BIPOC artists, offering multi-art experiences that connect rich and complex pasts with the emerging future, delighting audiences while provoking necessary dialogue and debate. Your presence at the BC Gin festival is more than just a celebration of fine spirits and craft distilleries – it is all of that and a commitment to championing artists expression, strengthening community bonds, amplifying diverse voices and recognising that, in trying times, art is our collective unifying force.

Every ticket sold directly supports local South Asian and BIPOC artists and arts.
