Events in Vancouver
Vancouver's event scene is framed by mountains and ocean, giving it a natural beauty that no other major city can match. Beyond the stunning setting, the city offers a rich multicultural events calendar — from the Celebration of Light fireworks competition to vibrant Lunar New Year festivities in one of North America's largest Chinatowns. The city's film industry (Hollywood North) adds premieres, fan conventions, and industry events to the mix.
