November Events in Metro Vancouver 2021

The province has opened up and so have ticket sales for so many events! As we head into the holiday season, after we pause to reflect on Remembrance Day, there are a lot of fun things to do around the region. Seasonal activities are back, family fun experiences are back, live concerts and theatre are back… it’s going to be a great month.

Miss604 is proud to sponsor the final event in the Dan’s Legacy Chefs in the House series on November 3rd, the National Philanthropy Day luncheon with AFP Vancouver on November 15th, the next Caring for Natural Spaces in Urban Places – Stanley Park Ecology Event Series talk on November 18th, and the Portobello West Holiday Market November 20-21.
