Here's where to celebrate Macaron Day 2018 in Vancouver

Vancouver is one of Canada's macaron hot spots, and as always, there are a few places that will have some special sales to mark World Macaron Day on March 20.

Ah, macarons. Those beautiful, beguiling colourful little circles that dazzle the eyes and the tastebuds with their myriad flavours and delicate texture. The French delight is a cherished treat and sometimes indulgence, but if there is any one day each year where the more macaron you buy the more good you're doing in the world, well, it's definitely World Macaron Day.

On March 20, around the globe bakeries will offer special deals on macarons, many with a charitable component. Vancouver is one of Canada's macaron hot spots, and as always, there are a few places that will have some special sales to mark the occasion.
