It’s August but I’m still holding on to the summer in YVR! Some fun things to do in Vancouver in August:

The Night Market

The street market contains many multicultural booths with different merchandise on sale including artistic handicrafts, creative gifts & decors, modern electronics, fashionable clothes, popular music and delicious snacks. Enjoy the dancing and performances in the summer night air.
Spend your summer nights at the Chinatown Night Market – the first of its kind in North America!

Twilight Drive-In

260th Street and Fraser Highway, Langley. 604-856-5063

The only drive-in located in the Lower Mainland, this locale brings the summer tradition from yesteryear to today’s generations. Watch recent blockbusters from the comfort of your car and munch on food from the concession. Let’s all go to the drive-in.  For more information visit  http://members.shaw.ca/twilightdrivein

Fresh Air Cinemas

If you are not near a drive-in, the Fresh Air Cinemas are playing in many cities around Vancouver and beyond. This summer grab a blanket and enjoy a favorite movie under the moonlight sky with your community.

Granville Island

This family favorite is popular year-round. During the summer you and your family can walk around and enjoy the local artist’s creations and food from the many yummy restaurants.  Or take a walk through the Granville Island Public Market where the smells alone will make you hungry.
