This weekend, we are all wearing green! It is St. Patrick’s Day and even if Ireland is a few kilometres away, this is a huge happening in Vancouver. Here are some ideas where to celebrate, but also how to avoid the green craziness.
St. Paddy’s Day, as the Irish call it themselves, will be celebrated in several places in the city. It doesn’t matter if you’re Irish or not, it is definitely going to be fun. The INTERNeX crew is going to drink some green beers with Vancouver’s students at the UBC. This party is nearly sold 
out, so be fast if you still want to join us.
Next to that, every Irish pub in Vancouver is hosting a green party. There will be a huge one at Blarney Stone, where we celebrated the kick-off of the festival past Saturday (some of you might remember that awesome night). You can spend your entire day there, from brunch in the morning to live music at night.
Another famous location for Saturday is ‘Doolin’s Irish Pub’ at Nelson Street. You can get breakfast from 10 o’ clock on and dance to live music throughout the day and night. So, get your green clothes out of your closet or buy some cheap accessories (Dollarama or Dollartree) and celebrate like the Irish.
Or does all this seem a bit too crazy and you are not in party mood this weekend? Then I have another idea for you: take a walk and take some beautiful photos. The Cherry Blossom Festival is starting right now. You can find many Whitcomb cherries that are blooming already. To find the best spots, you can take a look at this map. Just grab your camera and put on your walking shoes, there you go!
My outfit is ready and I am really looking forward to seeing you at the UBC party tomorrow! For the rest of you, have fun celebrating St. Paddy’s or enjoying the sun outside this weekend!

We are having an After Rockies Party on Saturday the 26th of April. At first we will start with an dinner at La Casita in Gastown at 7:00pm. The La Casita is an Mexican restaurant and it is located in 101 West Cordova Street. The average price for a meal is around $10-$15. Our 18 year olds are also more than welcome for this dinner 🙂 At the La Casita we will have some drinks and food and a nice chat together. As we are a lot of people please make sure you join the event on FB and click “going” till Wednesday the 23rd till 3pm and we make sure everyone gets a seat.
Afterwards we are heading out to the nightclub called Pop Opera Club and we are joining the White Party there. Also we will meet all the crazy people from our tour bus again. The nightclub is located at 686 West Hasting Street (corner Seymour and Hasting). The entrance will be free before 10:00pm for us, so you don’t have a excuse to miss out this crazy party. Pop Opera is Vancouver’s hottest high-end, get down, 2 room nightclub. The nightclub is of course 19+ and you have to show two pieces of ID’s.
Last night we had our weekly night in the pub. This time we went to a pub named Blarney Stone. It’s location 216 Carrall Street and is also longest running Irish Pub in Vancouver. As soon as you step inside, you’ll be welcomed by a cozy and relaxing atmosphere.
