So I used to work in Gastown for more than seven years, and it’s a neighbourhood I still find myself drawn back to regularly! My routine always included a morning iced latte from Milano Coffee Roasters, the (more than) occasional Soft Peaks treat, and evenings at Guilt & Co. There’s just something about Gastown’s historic charm, creative energy, and vibrant atmosphere that never gets old.

If you love Gastown as much as I do, this week's giveaway is for you. We're celebrating the return of Gastown Sunday Set, the car-free summer series bringing music, art, food, shopping, and community to Water Street every Sunday from 7/5-9/16, featuring signature events like Streetside Session, Gastown in Bloom, Open Air Atelier, and Gastown Unscripted. Enter now for your chance to win a Gastown Sunday Set prize pack!*
