Tickets are still up for the final days of Vancouver Fashion Week and honestly? It’s a vibe! I hit up the opening night with a friend and we had a ball. Our personal favourite was the Indigenous fashion designers at Ay Lelum, which already has me counting down the days until Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week in November. On standby for the first round of tickets - though VIP tickets are available now if you’re ready to splurge.

Speaking of supporting Indigenous arts, Th’owxiya: The Hungry Feast Dish hits the Anvil Theatre on 5/9. This Kwantlen First Nations tale follows a sly Mouse (Kw’at’el) who is caught stealing cheese and must embark on a journey to appease the angry ogress Th’owxiya.

8 QUESTIONS WITH ROYAL TUSK

The last time Royal Tusk was in Vancouver it was a beer-spraying gong show, in the best way. These Edmonton rockers have moved into their “fearless” era, and no - not in the T Swift kind of way. They forthcoming 4th studio album is bolder than ever. Catch them on 4/20 for a rare intimate stop between larger tour dates. It’s gonna be loud. Lock in tickets now or enter to win a pair!*
