August Events in Metro Vancouver 2020

August events in Metro Vancouver usually consist of fireworks nights, the Pride Parade, PNE concerts, a Whitecaps match, and perhaps an evening at TUTS. While things look very different in the city right now, with COVID-19 safety measures in place there is a new lineup of events and activities to enjoy this summer. Playland’s wooden coaster is reopening, there are drive-in movie nights, a summer concert series and more on top of our wonderful natural resources like parks and beaches.
