"The newest addition to Vancouver’s lineup of annual festivals is the Just for Laughs (northwest edition) comedy festival. Although only in its second year, JFL NorthWest already showcases headliners like Aziz Ansari and Seth Rogen. JFL is also one of the few Vancouver festivals or events that takes place in the middle of winter.When: February" - MATADOR_NETWORK

"If you’re in town with kids and want a night of family fun, a good option is the Richmond summer night market, held from May to October on weekend evenings. It’s not for foodies necessarily but more for those looking for an outdoor festival with a carnival-like atmosphere, minus the rides. There is a fee for admission but the 2019 prices have yet to be released. If you do want rides with your junk food, though, another good option for summers is the annual PNE Fair on East Hastings Street in Vancouver.When: May — October " - MATADOR_NETWORK

"Every year, Vancouver hosts the world’s largest offshore fireworks competition. Better yet, it’s totally free to the public. The Celebration of Light will dazzle you with expertly designed pyrotechnics synchronized to music, with entries from countries around the world. You can get the best view of the fireworks from English Bay Beach, Sunset Beach, and Kits Beach.When: July — August" - MATADOR_NETWORK
"Few events are more quintessentially Vancouver than the annual folk music festival (VFMF 2019). In its more than 40 years of existence, the Folk Music Festival has hosted the world’s top roots, folk, and world music artists. Surrounding the actual festival are hundreds of vendor booths selling handicrafts. That means even if you don’t want to stay for the tunes you can soak up the atmosphere that spills out around the festival grounds and lining the walkways of Kits Beach.When: July" - MATADOR_NETWORK
Bellingham
"You’ll need your passport for this day trip, but it’s one of the most rewarding you can take from Vancouver. Bellingham, a college town just south of the border in Washington state, has a surprisingly good collection of Art Deco buildings and, because of Western Washington University, a quirky and young population that is very outdoorsy.Like the small towns north of the border, the Bellingham area has an excellent craft brewery scene. In fact, it has over a dozen breweries for a population of fewer than 100,000. Naturally, it has a few of the best beer bars in the Pacific Northwest, including Aslan Depot. To do Bellingham car-free, get up early and take the Amtrak Cascades line from Pacific Central Station in Vancouver and return that very same evening. You can stroll the city on foot or, better yet, take a bicycle on the Amtrak. The ride from the Amtrak station to the center of town is on a dedicated path along the water and takes fewer than 20 minutes. Impress the locals by referring to their cool little town as The Ham." - MATADOR_NETWORK
