There are so many events happening around Metro Vancouver this summer it’s hard to only feature a few, but we’ve done our best to showcase a variety of festivals with incredibly cool culture, food, and music elements this June to September.

Vancouver Bird Celebration is May 1-17, 2026 with bird-themed walks, talks, workshops, exhibitions, and family-friendly activities hosted by passionate community groups throughout the Lower Mainland. It’s inspired by World Migratory Bird Day.
