In-Depth Information
February
There are still good off-peak hotel deals to be had (except around
Valentine's Day) and the weather may be warming a little - but don't count
on it.
Chinese New Year
This multiday celebration (
www.vancouver-chinatown.com
)
in and around Chinatown
can take place in January or February, but it always includes plenty of color, dancing
and great food. Highlights are the Dragon Parade and firecrackers.
Winterruption
Granville Island chases away the winter blues with a warming weekend-long roster of
live music, theater and family-friendly events at Winterruption
(
www.winterruption.com
). Dress warmly - many happenings are outdoors.
Vancouver International Wine Festival
The city's fave excuse for a drink - and one of North America's oldest wine fests - this
week-long end-of-February wine festival (
www.vanwinefest.ca
)
includes tastings, sem-
inars and galas. Book ahead: many events sell out.
