27 Unique Vancouver Experiences for Valentines Dates and Gifts
‘Twas the weekend before Christmas and all through the city… It’s actually super busy. City sidewalks are bustling. There are places to dance and places to watch others dance. There’s theatre and skating and singing and dining. And when you just want to get away from it all, in mountains and parks you can find pockets of colourfully lit serenity.
There’s just a week and a half left to get into all the Halloween happenings this month! New to the haunts this week: VanDusen’s Glow in the Garden, Halloween at the Aquarium, Grave Tales at Fort Langley, Britannia Mine’s Spoo-ook-tacular and a haunted live adventure game with bows and arrows. Of the non-haunts, there’s also opera, harvest festivals and photography exhibitions.
Cyclists, this is your weekend. The Gran Fondo is on, allowing an uninterrupted ride up the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler. Or, if you prefer neon garb and blinky lights to padded shorts and clip-in shoes, Bike the Night is the place to be in Vancouver. There’s also many events to cycle to; the Fringe Festival, a ballet about social media dating, Marc Maron, Bon Iver, rugby, supercars, and the Facade Festival.
This weekend the Vancouver Aquarium’s Amazon gallery is full of butterflies, our venues are full of festival theatrics, and a bus covered in art will take your family on a gallery tour.
April showers indeed! Grab an umbrella and get those rainy day cherry blossom photos, because the festival has officially begun. If you forgot your rain boots, never fear, there are many things going on this weekend that are under a roof, such as a photography festival, 1930s-style yodeling theatre, nude Austrian folk dancing, a spirits festival, soccer, a cheerleading competition, and an Indigenous puppetry story.

If you live in that sweet spot in the intersection of the Venn diagram of being an LGBTQ2A+ person visiting (or living in) Vancouver and being a fan of board games, have I got an event for you! Quests and Queers: An LGBTQ2A+ Game Night is an event hosted by the GM Tim (a local tabletop and role playing game coordinator) and held at Vancouver’s nerdiest pub The Storm Crow Tavern on Commercial Drive.
