This weekend, a very happy Maha Shivaratri, and Cheese Fare Sunday! Whether you plan on celebrating with Hindus, Orthodox Christians, or neither, I think we can all benefit from days that celebrate overcoming darkness and ignorance in life, and feasting on cheese (even the vegans out there – I know there are some stellar non-dairy cheeses made of nuts and stuff.) Have a look at all the things going on in Vancouver this weekend from the final days of the comedy festival to art shows and music of so many genres. They all pair quite well with overcoming darkness, and sure, with cheese as well.

Happy Lunar New Year! According to Chinese astrology, anyone born after this Saturday this year (or in 1957) is a fire rooster, which sounds pretty cool. Though fire anything sounds cool. These fiery cocks (I can say that, right?) are confident, trustworthy, responsible, honest, and love to be the center of attention. Take a page from hot roosters this weekend and strut yourself around the town at dining events, shows, and all the brightly coloured festivities that will be in Chinatown and beyond.

This weekend the winter festivals that began with Solstice and Yule in December continue with Maghi on Friday, celebrated across India for the winter harvest. Friday the 13th is looking anything but unlucky, with art shows, a film festival, a drag show and a virtual flight with a dragon starting up. You can end the weekend with some comedy, symphony, or hockey on Sunday with some David Bowie tributes and wrestling in between on Saturday.

Happy Holidays! Although the events slow down a bit this weekend, that’s not to say there’s nothing to do. There are many holiday light displays, shows, and markets for the whole family. And if the weather holds gorgeous, bundle up and head outside! Get some hot coffee to-go and a walk through one of the city’s many parks, or take a stroll through a neighborhood like Kitsilano, Commercial Drive, or the West End to see what shops and cafes are open to warm up in.

‘Twas the weekend before Solstice and all through the night, Vancouver started looking forward to the idea of the sun not setting at 3:30 in the afternoon! Hey, it could be worse, – we’ve got pretty lights, and a comfortable dusting of snow (maybe it didn’t feel comfortable last week, but we’ve gotten used to the white stuff now, yes?) and snow happens so rarely around here, let’s just enjoy it before it melts completely. There are a lot of things to get out to this weekend in between the mulled wine and the snow angels.
