To book a table, go here or call (604) 718-8222. No merchants or businesses. Event is free to attend.


March 17 - World's Greatest St. Patrick's Day Ceilidh at The Yale! Any time someone boasts a "World's Greatest" anything it's worth checking out, even just to judge if it is in fact the world's greatest. The Celticfest's World's Greatest St. Patrick's Day Ceilidh is no exception. The event boasts "a dozen of Canada's hottest Celtic musicians come together to cook a sizzling feast of music, dance, and jamming." Sounds delicious. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. If, however, you're not into ceilidh's or are looking for a family event to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, not to worry! The Celticfest is hosting a generous listing of free and family events over St. Patty's weekend, including a parade, dance work shops, sword play demonstrations, face painting, and gaelic football and hurling skills demonstrations. With so many options to choose from, you don't even need the luck of the Irish to find something fun to do.


March 26 & 27- Thing to Thing: The Makeshift Project at The Vancouver Art Gallery! This is not a magic show, but it sounds just as exciting. Artist and designer Natalie Purschwitz will turn personal objects into functional bags. Bring any sort of object and watch her transform it. Abracadabra! Part of the WE: Vancouver exhibit and free to attend with gallery admission.


March 30 - Rain City Chronicles at The Waldorf! Interested in the stories of random strangers you might meet in every day life? Rain City Chronicles believes everyone has a great story to share, and provides a space for people to tell theirs. Check out their latest night of storytelling.
