We’re excited to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving at The Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach again this year. Canadian Thanksgiving brings Canadians together to celebrate the past year's bountiful harvest and other blessings. That, and the fact that it is held in October, sets this tradition apart from the US celebration. However, similar to the US tradition, this is a family celebration, so bring your whole family to celebrate with us again this year!

The friends, family, and, of course, the food (and desserts!) served at past events have become legendary, and this year’s event is set to be another memorable experience! Chef Lewis has created yet another special Canadian-inspired Thanksgiving dinner that will make all kinds of memorable (and Instagram-able) moments!

About Our Chef

Chef Lewis graduated from Summerset College of Applied Arts and Technology in England, earning five diplomas in Cooking for the Catering Industry. He has served Hollywood’s elite, planning and executing menus for Oscar parties, movie premieres, and celebrity weddings. As a chef, Lewis has shared his culinary talent at Four Seasons hotels all over the country, Rancho Bernardo Inn, and Splashes Restaurant at Laguna Beach’s Surf and Sand Resort.

* Alcohol cash bar - We try hard every year to satisfy all our guests. With prices rising, we did what we could to keep costs minimal. In past years, guests who don’t drink alcohol complained that the price included an item that they would not get the benefit of. We tried to make alcohol an optional purchase in advance. The venue would charge us for the most expensive drink for each ticket because there would be no way to control what guests ordered at the bar, so they assumed a cocktail and not a less expensive beer or wine. We know the added effort of going to the bar is a challenge, so we added an extra bar this year to make it go quicker. And, since the prices would be the same, you could also go to the bar one floor below our ballroom.

Canadian Thanksgiving is back this year and is being celebrated in a new location for our group. We’ve followed Executive Chef Lewis Butler to The Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach. Canadian Thanksgiving traditionally brings Canadians together to celebrate a bountiful harvest and other blessings of the past year. That, and being held in October, sets this tradition apart from the US celebration. However, similar to the US tradition, this is a family celebration, so bring your whole family to celebrate with us together again this year!

The friends, family, and, of course, the food served at the past events have become legendary, and this year’s event is set to be another memorable experience! Chef Lewis has created another special Canadian-inspired Thanksgiving dinner at our new location that will make you come back for more!
