Things to do in Vancouver This Weekend August 14-16
This weekend in Vancouver there are plenty of fun things to do including theatre, markets, baseball, free outdoor movies, and more!
Friday, August 14 | Saturday, August 15 | Sunday, August 16
On Friday it’s the start of Burnaby’s free outdoor summer cinema series with screenings at Civic Square, and then Saturdays in August at Confederation Park. Miss604 is proud to be a sponsor of this free, family-friendly activity.
On Sunday, my co-author John Lee and I are hosting a sold out walking tour of Granville Island. If you’d like to join us in the future, visit our Freecouver book site for updates.
If you haven’t already checked out this season of Theatre Under the Stars (its 86th!) I highly recommend catching a show in Stanley Park. It’s a lovely Vancouver tradition with two incredible performances amongst the forest trees.
