Events and Entertainment

It’s a crazy great week in Vancouver. The first ever Vancouver Mural Festival is all day and all night this Saturday August 20th.

CreativeMornings/Vancouver is excited to introduce Kirby Brown as our September speaker on the theme of Magic. As the GM for the popular Sea-to-Sky Gondola in Squamish, BC, Kirby is a busy guy.

Vancouver is about to look a whole lot different… On Saturday August 20th, the first ever Vancouver Mural Festival is taking over East Van! Expect a full day of art, music and community love, involving dozens of local and international artists.

Vancouver Public Library and V.I.A. have teamed up to help you discover new reads, hidden book gems and surprising literary finds. Check back every couple of weeks for the latest reading recommendations from the experts at Vancouver’s library.

We do a lot of stories highlighting charity initiatives here on V.I.A., and we also give a lot of press to Kickstarter campaigns where local entrepreneurs are striking out on their own to produce amazing BC products.

Big shows like Miike Snow (pictured above) and AWOLNATION are hitting our city this weekend, along with free shows by Dirty Spells, comedy, art, and watching the meteor shower from New West.
