Celebrating Community Lunch

Community Lunch returns September 9th!

The longest-running, regularly-offered community program at Alex House, Celebrating Community Lunch brings neighbours together for a low-cost meal (main, dessert, and coffee/tea), live entertainment, prizes, and more! The meals are cooked on site by our amazing cook and volunteer team. The atmosphere is friendly and laid back—a perfect opportunity for relaxed conversation and making new friends.

Celebrating Community Lunch is held in the fully-accessible Dining Hall of our Crescent Beach location, 2916 McBride Ave. The suggested cost is $12 ($10 for members of Alex House), with no one turned away for lack of funds.

Celebrating Community Lunch happens from 12pm - 1:30pm on the second Wednesday of the month from September through June. If you would like to attend, please register and pay online by clicking on the event page to the right or by calling 604-535-0015. The deadline to register is at 12pm on the Monday before the lunch.

If you’d like to find out more, or are a performer interested in providing entertainment, please contact communityprogrammer@alexhouse.net or 604-535-0015 (ext 236).

Alex Fest

Alex Fest, typically held on the last Saturday in May, brings in people from around the Semiahmoo Peninsula and beyond to enjoy performances, demonstrations, vendors, food, kids’ activities and more at this family-friendly event.

Alex House seeks to partner with neighbours looking to share their skills, talent, and creative energy with their community. Our aspiration is for Alex Fest to be an authentically grassroots gathering for folks to make their own fun, teach and learn from one another, and return home refreshed and inspired!
