Surrey Canada Day
2009 Surrey Canada Day
What: Ok so this event isn’t actually held in Vancouver but it’s a must do. Surrey always knows how to throw an awesome party!

Burrard Fireworks
Burrard Inlet Fireworks Show

Summer Night Market
Richmond Summer Nightmarket
What: Another great summer event just 10 minutes outside of vancouver is the Richmond Summer Nightmarket. A great place for food sampling and trying new eats like my favorite takoyaki (octopus balls)! There is also nightly entertainment and lots of vendors selling everything from dvds, pajamas, sunglasses to hello kitty stationary!
When: Open July 1st-5th (Regular hours friday-sunday 7:00P-Midnight)
Where: 12631 Vulcan Way, Richmond BC

Rock the Boat
Rock the Boat
What: So if you were stuck doing homework or working during the week what better way to cap off the Canada Week celebration then a daytime boat party!

Take in the Vancouver skyline, aboard the 450 passenger ship (Vancouver’s largest party boat) and dance away on 3 floors. Beach attire recommended.
