Summer in Vancouver, BC

Posted by Lori Henry May 20, 2008

The sun has started to shine in Vancouver, BC and there’s no city as beautiful in the summer. Locals get outdoors and take advantage of the scenery and things to do, from rollerblading along the seawall to sipping cocktails on the best patios.

For the best way to mix nature with the modern city, try patios at Brix Restaurant and Wine Bar (604-915-9463, 1138 Homer Street), Provence Marinaside (604-681-4144, 1177 Marinaside Crescent), or Lift Restaurant (604-689-5438, 333 Menchion Mews).

Summer Events in Vancouver run the gamut from the Vancouver International Children’s Festival, Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, the Vancouver International Folk Music Festival, Festival Vancouver, and the Celebration of Light fireworks competition.

If you're in Vancouver or thinking of visiting the city this summer, check on dates for the above festivals before making your plans concrete. They're worth getting to as a taste of what Vancouverites most love about July and August.
