What's happening in Vancouver this weekend?

Planning your weekend in Vancouver? Somo gathers the full weekend line-up in one place, from Friday after-work to Sunday brunch. We cover everything that's on: big concerts, festivals and clubs, but also the smaller discoveries like flea markets, food events, gallery openings and local sports. With us, every event counts. The headline names are fun, but it's often in the breadth that the most memorable nights come from.

What can you experience in Vancouver?

A typical weekend in Vancouver runs from Saturday breakfast at a new café to club nights on the city's best dance floors. Take a long walk to an exhibition, book a theatre ticket, play padel with friends, try a new restaurant, catch stand-up or find a live concert. For families, museums, parks and indoor play areas offer kid-friendly options. Fancy something outside the city? Somo covers the region, nearby towns often have hidden-gem events worth the short trip.

How to find the right event fast

Use the time filter to drill into what's on specifically Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Many of the weekend's most popular events sell out in advance, save them in the Somo app and book tickets as soon as you find one you like. Turn on notifications to hear about new events in Vancouver, or follow specific organisers and categories for a personal feed. Clubs and bars often update their programmes late in the week, so it pays to check back on Thursday or Friday.
