On the Second Sunday of each month, it is Qualicum Bay tradition to come and have breakfast with your neighbours and local community, and to browse the best Sunday Market in the area. We regularly serve between 250 – 350 breakfasts. This number, combined with the neighbours who just want to check out the market and enjoy a good cup of coffee, makes for a pretty impressive crowd for our small community.
Each month, a different community service group provides a bargain, freshly cooked breakfast as a fundraiser.
