If you are looking for fun events to attend in and around Vancouver, you are in the right place because rain or shine there is lots happening this August weekend. The Abbotsford Airshow is back, Vancouver Mural Festival has started, Lavenderland in Steveston opened and it’s the last weekend of the Harmony Arts Festival in West Van (my friend told me about having a picnic at Dundarave last weekend and a boat with a band playing was entertaining everyone on shore). Sounds like a great way to catch up with friends over dinner at the beach!
