Event Description

Join the Gulf of Georgia Cannery from April 3-5, 2026 for the egg-cellent return of Easter at the Cannery! Easter is all about rebirth, and it’s not just the Easter Bunny that lays eggs; here at the Cannery, we celebrate the restart of the salmon life cycle as the first Pacific salmon prepare to return upstream to spawn a new generation! 

Easter at the Cannery is a fun-filled family friendly weekend featuring crafts, story time, games, and of course, the annual Easter Salmon Scavenger Hunt, all inside the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site.  

New for 2026: free admission for all youth (17 and under)! Visitors under 18 receive free admission across Easter Weekend in 2026 to take part in our wide range of interactive programming. Activities suitable for ages 2-6; youth must be accompanied by an adult (18+) 

All youth participants in the Cannery’s annual Salmon Scavenger Hunt (taking place multiple times throughout the day), receive an Easter treat for their efforts!
