3 days, 327 artists. The Eastside Cultural Crawl is a fantastic annual event showcasing some of the best artistic talent in Vancouver. Spend the day visiting artists in their studios in the area bounded by Main Street and Victoria Drive, discovering new art and making new friends. Added bonus, the event is FREE! Visit the Eastside Cultural Crawl website for a downloadable program guide and map.
Possibly November's "can't miss" event… a day completely dedicated to the glorious creation best known as POUTINE! The Poutine Festival includes a guided "Poutine Crawl" from 12pm-4pm showcasing the best Vancouver poutine spots and of course includes tastings. If four hours of eating poutine isn't enough for you (and we completely understand if it isn't) the evening festival activities begin at 6pm with a creative poutine contest judged by local food critics, restaurant owners, and "poutine specialists." We're still waiting for the phone call to be included as one of the poutine specialist… we're highly qualified. For more information on both events and to purchase tickets click here.
November 24-27 - CFL Grey Cup Festival!
Football enthusiasts and mild sports supporters alike, the CFL Grey Cup Festival has a number of fun events for you! From Friday till Sunday the TELUS StreetFest offers FREE concerts and activities for the whole family. For those 19+ looking to celebrate the Grey Cup coming to town the Molson Canadian House is the place to drop in for a beer or catch one of their great evening concerts featuring Colin James, Aaron Pritchett and more! And if you have absolutely no interest in football, beer, live music, or any of the other weekend activities associated with the Grey Cup, there may still be one thing that brings you out to Saturday's Safeway Grey Cup Festival Parade…. Cory Monteith. Yep. The Glee star and proud Vancouverite will be the parades Grand Marshal. So there you have it. Truly a weekend with something for literally everyone.
