9 Super Fun Things To Do In Vancouver This Weekend, August 14 to 16
Never waste a summer weekend. 😎
Like magic, summer has almost disappeared. Don't spend the final weekends of it on the couch when there's so much to do outside. We've rounded up all the things to do in Vancouver this weekend where you're most likely to find us kicking back after brunch.
From checking out newish restaurants and filling up on Greek food classics to breaking a sweat and more, there's actually no shortage of stuff going on around the city.
I think there are two kinds of Vancouverites: the ones obsessed with the outdoors and the normal ones.
This list appeases both with ideas you might have thought would not be in the cards for you for summer 2020.
Don't worry, not everything is cancelled.
And while the city is great, there are also tons of places to discover just a short drive away and they're much nicer to see when there's not a constant cloud of rain above.
Have you been to Crescent Beach in Surrey yet this summer? Or had a dip at a swimming hole?
Slap on a hat and some sunscreen. Even those indoor cats among us are going to want to get out this weekend.
