Not all Vancouver water is created equal — some’s perfect for a splash, some is… questionable at best. Check out our guide to the city’s cleanest swim spots so you can stay cool (and uninfected).

THIS WEEKEND

🚨 The Marias After Party: Josh Conway DJ Set

Friday @ Fortune Sound Club (10PM)

This is your ticket to enter to the mind of Josh Conway - the co-found, drummer and producer behind The Marias! Catch his DJ set at this one-night-only event.

🥳 26th Shambhala Music Festival

Friday - Monday @ Salmon River Ranch (9AM)

26 years deep and still the wildest weekend; Shambhala is back, baby. Six stages of absolute madness and ratting basslines. We can’t wait to see the photos and videos.

📣 Posh Ball

Saturday @ The Pearl (7PM)

Posh Ball 2025 is rolling out the glitter carpet and you’re on the guest list. Think: fierce drag, unapologetic fashion, high-voltage beats, and a dance floor where nobody plays it cool.

🔥 Caribbean Days Festival

Saturday & Sunday @ Town Centre Park (10AM)

Caribbean Days Festival is bringing the heat with two days of nonstop soca, reggae, steel drums, dancing, parades, island eats, and a whole lotta joy.

🍖 Brewery & The Beast Festival

Sunday @ Concord Pacific Place (1PM)

Brewery & The Beast isn’t your average Sunday, it’s a full-on carnivore’s dream. Enjoy the fire-roasted meats, local brews, and a plate (or three) in hand.

LOCALS ONLY
