March Events in Metro Vancouver

Comments 1 by Rebecca Bollwitt

As the cherry blossoms fill our streets, parks, and yards with pink confetti, March arrives with free admission for kids at VanDusen Garden, Spring Break, dance celebrations, fashion, festivals and CelticFest fun. As always this list is updated several times a week so if you have an event to add, simply send it in for a free listing.

    We’d love to see lots of people come out to KDocs — the documentary film festival hosted by Kwantlen Polytechnic University. We will showcase award-winning documentaries, host filmmakers, guest speakers, panel discussions, etc. and provide food! Open to one and all.
