There is nothing quite like seeing a live show in the middle of Stanley Park. Walking in from the city along the scenic Seawall, literally stopping to smell the roses in the gardens, then catching a broadway production on a stage flanked by towering firs while the stars shine above. This is why I’m so excited to partner with TUTS again this year for a Theatre Under the Stars staycation giveaway!
TUTS 2019
This summer TUTS presents Mamma Mia! and Disney’s Newsies, running alternate evenings July 5–August 17, 2019, at Stanley Park’s glorious Malkin Bowl.
Where: Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park (610 Pipeline Rd, Vancouver)
You have the chance to win a one-night stay (for two) at the Westin Bayshore, which is right across Coal Harbour from Malkin Bowl and along the Seawall. You’ll get to stay over once you pick out a pair of tickets to the show of your choice at TUTS!
To the winner, I would suggest selecting one of the two TUTS Date Nights this year as well: July 17 (Mamma Mia!) or July 24 (Disney’s Newsies). The Date Nights will feature special buy one, get one deals for audiences, and will be a great chance for parents/couples to get away for an evening of romance. Did I mention how amazing the seaside pool is at the Westin? You also get breakfast for two in the morning!
This entirely wonderful prize package is valued at $600! Here’s how you can enter to win:

I will draw one winner at random from all entries at 12:00pm on Wednesday, June 26, 2019. Stay at the Westin Bayshore must be used in conjunction with the TUTS show of the winner’s choice (by the end of TUTS August 17th).

Vancouver Biennale presents the Real Canadian Potluck! Celebrate the beginning of Summer with a thousand other picnickers, revelers, great music, and food on June 27th. All you need to bring is family and friends, a picnic dinner, (with a little extra to share if you’d like), and an appetite to sample an assortment of food sensations created especially for the potluck by local foodies.
Real Canadian Potluck
Where: Vanier Park, Vancouver When: Thursday, June 27, 2019 at 6:00pm Admission: Free! Just bring your potluck meal
The gathering place is Paradise Has Many Gates, a Vancouver Biennale public art installation in Vanier Park. This amazing chain-link mosque, by Saudi Arabian artist Ajlan Gharem, is the perfect dramatic backdrop to the event, as it exemplifies what the Biennale is all about – where art is a catalyst for community engagement, social action, dialogue, and learning where we live, work, play, and transit.
