Head over to North Vancouver via the Seabus and pop by the North Shore Twilight Market to score a great start to your weekend. Featuring 75+ vendors, plenty of food trucks to satiate your appetite, a beer garden (yup!) and live entertainment (not to mention a killer backdrop of the Vancouver cityscape), it’s worth the trip.
Revenge of the Art Show takes place Friday at 2206 Main Street (Hot Art Wet City) and is worth stopping by, featuring more than 50 artists participating in this show that’s 30 years in the making. Look for pieces that celebrate cinematic pop culture hits like Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins, The Karate Kid, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Purple Rain, The Terminator, Revenge of the Nerds, and plenty more.

No plans for Saturday night? Don’t miss An Evening With Oliver Stone. To kick off of The Vancouver Biennale and its new CineFest LIVE program, they’re featuring one of two public events featuring Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone on Saturday, June 14th. Often controversial, always stimulating, both events offer a rare opportunity for the public to engage with one of the most provocative documentary filmmakers of our time.
Sunday
Father’s Day is on Sunday. If you haven’t already booked dad for a round at the golf course or settled on brunch, you might want to head over to UBC (pre-book a tee time here) and treat dad to a bite down at Granville Island’s Dockside Restaurant for a special Father’s Day BBQ. They’ll have all the grilled goods: salmon, pork shoulder, Fraser Valley chicken, smoked brisket and then some. Reserve your spot by calling 604.685.7070.
