A colossal, retro, floating Mcdonald’s will be hosting an event in Maple Ridge on October 21st.

At 187-feet-long, the vessel was built for Expo ‘86, and was a hit during its time; however, the enormous barge has sat vacant for over three decades since the event.

After a great amount of public demand, the floating restaurant is hosting the McBarge Warming Party to welcome the first visitors onboard the craft.

Bring Back McBarge Campaign

The party will invite guests to learn all about the Crowdfunding campaign that helped to raise money for the hotly anticipated reopening, and also showcase a plethora of exciting undersea activities to check out.

You can also get a jet boat with Fraser River Safari in the adventure package, and a limited number will be sold at general admission price as an Early Bird Special. There will be food trucks available on site for when you get hungry.

Guests will board at the Supreme Structural Transport, which is downstream from the old Albion Ferry Terminal. The barge will be located downstream from the corner of the site.

A limited number will be sold at general admission price as an Early Bird Special.

The organizers caution that due to safety concerns there will be no access prior to or after the festivities.
