The Winter Solstice Lantern Festival Goes Digital for 2020
Welcome to the first weekend of 2020! This weekend is Perihelion, which is the closest Earth will be to the sun all year, and you can celebrate at the Space Centre on Saturday. There’s also night skiing, a Cindy Sherman exhibit, improv comedy, an Italian film festival and plenty of theatre. If you didn’t get a chance yet to indulge in one of Vancouver’s many holiday lights displays, this is the final weekend for several of them.
This is the first weekend of the Talking Stick Festival, the last weekend of the JFL Northwest Comedy Festival, there’s a film festival dedicated to mountains, and Snoop Dog graces the city with his presence.

This is the last weekend of Dine Out Vancouver and the PuSh Festival, so be sure to lock in your plans for dinner and a show! The museums of Vanier Park are also hosting Winter Wander, and the library invites you to check out a human from their main branch.
This weekend, classic mixes with contemporary. A Hawaiian performer uses cultural influences to create new music, a fashion designer brings ancient culture into couture, a documentary filmmaker addresses cultural erasure and 80s music is the theme to deconstructing linguistic histories.
It’s that time of year when you’ll be seeing more and more holiday events added every week until the final days of 2018! What’s new this week? A winter festival that involves downhill tubing downtown, a Santa Clause trip across Canada, a German-inspired market by the ocean, a town of candy, Christmas on a mountain top and more. (There’s some non-holiday stuff too!)

Have a case of the winter doldrums? If you’re a beauty/skincare buff, cure your winter blues at Holt Renfrew’s spring preview event, the Powder Puff Beauty Party on Tuesday, January 22.
This ticketed event ($25 per person) is likely best enjoyed with a gaggle of girlfriends. The fun takes place from 7:30pm to 10pm at the downtown Vancouver location of Holt Renfrew. Tickets include complimentary Magenta Madness mocktails and canapes from Gotham Steakhouse & Cocktail Bar. The ticket price will also count towards your shopping that night, if you spend $75 or more on a beauty product.
While the spring beauty previews are the main hook, there’s tons of other good stuff going on including complimentary manicures from the Holt’s Salon (using Lippman, Butter London and YSL), plus make-up brush cleaning, hand massages, brow waxing and makeovers. Find the full list after the jump. Continue reading:
