Can you believe it’s already the last weekend before Christmas?! I feel like time flew by soooo fast the past few weeks, I didn’t even realize Christmas was literally around the corner until today!! So what is there to do on a nice weekend like this, you might ask yourself… well let me tell you a bunch of stuff that’s happening right now! 😄
Firstly, INTERNeX is going ice-skating in Robson Square this Saturday. I feel like this is a MUST when it comes to winter activities! Plus, it’s free entry and rentals are only a few bucks, which is perfect for us! 🤩 Were gonna meet in the afternoon, so that it’s already a little dark outside when we get there, so we can really get in the mood and see all the beautiful lights!
If you’re looking to do some shopping for yourself or for some Holiday gifts for your loved ones, don’t worry I have a few recommendations for you as well! This weekend is the last Holiday Bop ‘n Shop at Eastside Flea Market where you can get a bunch of awesome vintage clothes, jewellery, decoration, Christmas ornaments, as well as drinks and food! The Bop ‘n Shop is today (Friday) in the evening, but if you can’t make it, there’s also the regular markets on Saturday and Sunday. Besides that, you might also wanna check out Granville Island for some cute presents or maybe you can take a stroll down Granville Street or head to a mall to get some nice gifts.
There’s also a bunch of other cool events happening in Vancouver this weekend, so I’ll just give you a quick rundown of them and maybe something will spark your interest! INTERNeX just did a trip to the Christmas market recently and if you haven’t gone already, I definitely recommend! You can check out all the different kinds of drinks & food (which are actually pretty close to their German originals) and look for some Christmas decoration or maybe you can also find some nice gifts!
There are also a lot of light festivals happening at the moment to get you in the winter-spirit like the VanDusen Festival of Lights, the PNE Winter Fair, Bright Nights at Stanley Park, the Whole Rock Bright Walk and lots of others! 😊
Whatever you decide to do, I hope you have fun and are able to get into the Holiday spirit one way or another! I can’t wait to hear about your awesome weekend experience next Pub Night!
Toodles!
