Things to do in Vancouver This Weekend

The first heat wave of the summer will reach us this weekend as does one of the busiest Saturdays I’ve seen in a while. On top of all seasonal activities being in full swing (farmers markets, night markets, dancing, movies) we have the Khatsahlano Festival, Red Bull Around the Strait, Marpole Summerfest, and several places around town where you can watch the World Cup Final on Sunday including Trout Lake. The full list is below, have a great weekend!
