Must-see events

Kanata Festival: This festival is a celebration of Indigenous cultures and runs from June 19 until July 1 so there is still time to see it! It is being hosted at Larwill Park in downtown Vancouver and will consist of music, storytelling, crafts, food, and more. This is a great opportunity to party on Canada Day while still acknowledging the Indigenous peoples of this land in a respectful way. Cost: FREE Where: At Cambie Street and Beatty Street.

Fuse 2167: Taking place at the Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG) on June 30, 8 p.m.–midnight, Fuse has been described as a “late-night art party” by the gallery. This year’s Fuse imagines Canada’s 300th birthday through various art forms. There will be, of course, the usual art displayed in the gallery, as well as several performances, speeches, and installations. Don’t expect the predictable at Fuse: expect odd, expect excitement. During Fuse, the patrons will be free to peruse the various goings on, making each experience of the night unique. It may be hard to see everything because there will be so much to explore. Cost: $24 at the door, FREE for VAG members Where: Vancouver Art Gallery.
