Things to do in Vancouver This Weekend Events September 11-13
This weekend around Vancouver there is no shortage of fun events and interesting things to do: You can visit festivals of film, fringe performance, music — even hot sauce and pickles; the Rise, Whitecaps, and Lions all have games; you can shop local markets; and take some local tours. Leading up to National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, I have highlighted Indigenous-led events around the region. Find all of these events and more listed below, and in the full September event list.
