Welcome to what's looking to be the nicest weekend of the summer! Make the most of it by checking out Vancouver Mural Festival on Saturday. Kicking off at noon and running all day, there's over 40 murals to see, plus tours, roller skating, chill zones, and much more. The festival keeps going all night with live music and afterparties. Check out the full schedule here vanmuralfest.do604.com and download the free app to have the whole fest in the palm of your hand.
If you need a break from the heat, this is the final few days of the Vancouver Queer Film Festival. We've listed our favourites below. And as always, in our great city, there's a fun selection of comedy, and even more music and film.
Whatever you get up to this weekend, have an awesome time and come back next week for our newest Weekend Forecast, brought to you by our city's #KnowFun Selectors, Do604.
