HxBIA is excited to announce its new feature event: Experience Hastings Crossing. From February 10-19, businesses in our area will be partnering with a local social enterprise or non-profit to offer special promotions and features. These promotions will showcase, promote, and help raise funds for the partner social enterprise or non-profit working in Hastings Crossing and the Downtown Eastside.

The festival will include special events, products, and offers for visitors. These will include free classes, a crawl, specialized dishes and much more.
