As the weather gets warmer and we begin to welcome back our friends from across this beautiful province again, what better excuse is there to dance? With that sentiment in mind, we’re thrilled to announce that the free outdoor ambient experience, Love Bubbles, is back for the month of June with a whole new summer look!
Presented by Tourism Vancouver and Small Stage, each transparent “bubble” will feature dance and music activations, along with new one-of-a-kind art pieces. The new Love Bubbles will highlight local and culturally diverse dancers and musicians at various sites downtown.
If you were lucky enough to catch the Love Bubbles the first time around, you’ll be excited to hear that not only will they be returning to The Sheraton Wall Centre, they’ll also be popping up at two new exciting locations this month: Dunsmuir Patio at Bentall Centre and The Westin Bayshore.
A visit to see these limited-time installations is a great way to round out a day of exploring the city. After a little culture refresher at the Wall Centre, visit one of the many patios lining Davie Street or continue your culture crawl to the public art installations in English Bay. Near the Bentall Centre, you can cool off with some gelato from Bella Gelateria or enjoy a drink on the patio at Cactus Club Bentall. Spend an afternoon cycling or strolling around Stanley Park Seawall, or grab a bite (with views) on Cardero’s waterfront patio- both walking distance of the Bubbles at The Westin Bayshore.
