Things to do in Vancouver This Weekend

One of the busiest weekends of the summer is upon us! There are over 40 events happening on Saturday alone, including three that I am very excited to support: The Kaleidoscope Arts Festival Coquitlam (Saturday), the Richmond Maritime Festival (Saturday & Sunday), and Movies Under the Stars in Surrey (Saturday). For all of these events and more fun with friends and family, browse the event list below:
