Fingers crossed for some decent weather this weekend so we can head to the pumpkin patch, apple fest or Halloween train. If it’s looking wet out, there are also plenty of indoor activities for kids and families.
Labour Day weekend is the symbolic end of summer what with school, work and all those activities coming at us. It’s also summer’s final hurrah, and a great time to catch up on some of the things you may have missed (or loved) over the summer like outdoor swimming, gorging yourself at the Richmond Night market or taking one final coaster ride at the PNE.
There’s tons of FREE fun this weekend with the epic Fusion Festival in Surrey, the opening of the Shipyards in North Van (Bobs & Lolo fans take note!), the Apollo 50 celebration at the Space Centre, Rib Fest in Port Moody, Snack ‘N Snap at Metropolis at Metrotown and the African Descent Fest at Thornton Park in Vancouver. The Folk Fest kicks off on Friday, and it’s free for the under 12s.

Children become firefighters, police officers, dentists, veterinarians, restaurant owners, teachers, stage performers and more.
