We’re thrilled to once again host Canadian Thanksgiving at The Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach! This holiday is a chance for Canadians to come together, reflect on the past year’s harvest and blessings, and enjoy a tradition that’s uniquely ours in October. Like the U.S. celebration, it’s all about family—so gather your loved ones and join us for another unforgettable evening.
Over the years, this event has built a reputation for warm friendships, lively atmosphere, and, of course, incredible food (and desserts!). This year promises to be no different—Chef Lewis has prepared a Canadian-inspired Thanksgiving feast designed to create lasting memories (and plenty of Instagram-worthy moments).
A Premiere Experience Event
Canadian Expats’ signature event is truly one of a kind. Where else can you enjoy a full turkey dinner at a luxury beachfront resort in California, weeks before American Thanksgiving? Our celebration will take place in a private ballroom at The Waterfront Beach Resort, reserved exclusively for our group of grateful Canadians. Business casual or formal attire is encouraged. Your ticket includes everything except alcohol, with cash bars available for drinks throughout the evening.

Valet Parking at The Waterfront Beach Resort
A Private Reception with Canadian-inspired hors d'oeuvres
