Watch the FIFA Women’s World Cup at Library Square in Vancouver

Add a Comment by Rebecca Bollwitt

It was 4 years ago today that I walked into BC Place and received my credentials as the City of Vancouver’s official blogger for the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Not since the Vancouver 2010 Olympics had I been so proud to put a lanyard around my neck and check out the best athletes from around the world.

This year’s World Cup is in France, and while it’s not the same as being in our local stadium or at a public celebration and viewing site down the street, you can watch all the action at Library Square Public House.

It’s been a local tradition for generations, and from its humble beginnings as a hemp rope crossing with cedar planks, to a world class attraction, Capilano Suspension Bridge Park is Vancouver’s original tourist destination. In 2019, the bridge celebrates its 130th anniversary, with history, culture, and striking natural beauty – not to mention fun for the whole family.

Join Vancouver TheatreSports for Father’s Day on Sunday, June 16th for The SuperDad Show – a special matinee performance in celebration of an often unsung hero.

Vancouver TheatreSports for Father’s Day

When: Sunday, June 16, 2019 at 2:00pm
Where: The Improv Centre (1502 Duranleau St, Vancouver)
Tickets: Available online for $25

The SuperDad Show pokes fun at the foibles and challenges of what it means to be a modern Dad. Based on audience suggestions, VTS’ quick-witted improvisers could explore such timeless themes as ‘two-Dad families’, ‘Dads and their love affair with the barbecue’, ‘hockey Dads’, ‘Dad, can I have the keys to the car?’ or ‘Dads and daughters’ in belly laugh-inducing scenarios. Audience members can bask in familiar phrases or ‘Dadisms’ such as “Do you think I’m made of money?”, “When I was your age…”, “You’re not going out in that, are you?”, and the classic “You’ll understand when you’re older.”

This special family-friendly show takes place at 2:00pm so there’s plenty of time afterward to take Dad out for dinner or to fire up the barbecue. Tickets are value-priced at only $25 and include the show PLUS either a glass of house wine, beer on tap, or non-alcoholic beverage. Tickets are on sale now at vtsl.com.

The Neil Macrae Bar & Lounge at The Improv Centre will open that day at 1:00pm for pre-show beverages and, weather permitting, the patio deck overlooking the picturesque marina will also be open to patrons.
