This is shaping up to be a beautiful Friday afternoon in the city and all signs point to the sunshine sticking around for the next couple of weeks! Plenty of people have headed for the exits already, trading in their office chairs for seats on a sun soaked patio or a ride to a local lake, beach or mountain. Whether you want to relax or be active while taking advantage of the summer weather, the options are endless. If you feel like dropping some dollars or doing some window shopping downtown, there's something special for you too!
Erica and friends over at Vancouver-based fashion, beauty & event blog The Style Spy are hosting the Yaletown Summer Shopathon today, July 17th, until 9pm. Head over for summer fashions, discounts & specials from over 40 stores, plus prizes, cocktails and drinks from local restaurants. If shopping's not your thing, you can still enjoy the block party vibe and the sounds of legendary deep house DJ/Producer Marques Wyatt from LA, who will be spinning a special set on the loading docks at 1000 Mainland between 6 - 9pm. This event is free.
