Fall in Vancouver is absolutely stunning. The treeline changes colour, pumpkin spice is everywhere, and fall festival season consumes the city. Public festivals in Vancouver are always a good time, the city loves to celebrate and the locals love to party– even past summer! Here’s a quick list of a few Vancouver festivals I think should be on everyone’s radar this fall, and I hope you get a chance to drop by one of these fall festivals!
Vancouver Fashion Week, September 17th-23rd
Clearly a very chic week, Fashion Week is a lovely way to explore and challenge fashion on the streets of Vancouver. Head over to Chinatown to view pieces by talented local designers, and there’s always going to be models walking down a runway to showcase some stunning pieces. At the end of Van Fashion Week, elegant galas will be held where the most fashionable people in the city will come out to show their stuff.
