 Planning a move to Vancouver? Or maybe you're a native of British Columbia and you're at a loss for things to do with your friends and family. Don't fret. Here's a list of free and inexpensive activities to do in Vancouver - whether you're planning a visit to the British Columbia city or if Vancouver is home.
English Bay Polar Bear Swim
Be warned, this isn't for the faint of heart! The English Bay Polar Bear Swim has been a tradition since 1920 when brave people plunge into the icy waters of Vancouver's English Bay.
If you're up for it, you can also partake in the 100-metre race in memory of the Swim's founder Peter Pantages. Creativity is encouraged so wear a costume!
TIP: Stay clothed until RIGHT before the plunge and don't stay in the water longer than 15 minutes.
Celtic Fest
In March, Vancouver's Celtic Fest is a must-see! The annual festival has both ticketed and free events, but the biggest free event is the Celtic Village and Street Market. There is free music, dance and performance artists, food and of course, fun!
Cherry Blossom Festival
There is no need to travel to Washington DC to see the cherry blossoms bloom--there are plenty of cherry blossoms to be seen in Vancouver during this festival.
There are free activities, talks and walks around the city to learn about the blossoms and the city's neighborhoods. This is a great activity if you have friends and family visiting in Vancouver--they'll not only get a walking tour of the city, they'll enjoy the splendor of the cherry blossoms.
TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival
Framed with mountains and ocean views, the annual TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival is the perfect way to enjoy music and art outdoors in your hometown.
The annual festival strives to increase the appreciation for jazz music, and puts on a show that includes a wide array of jazz styles for all musical tastes.
Visit Stanley Park
Stanley Park in Vancouver is the city's first and largest urban park. It is designated as a historic site in Canada and has sweeping views of water, mountains, sky and trees along its Seawall. There are plenty of beaches, wildlife and cultural landmarks to explore and Stanley Park is home to Canada's largest aquarium.
The Park hosts free activities for children all summer, so be sure to include the kids when you visit!
MacMillan Observatory
Star gazing at its finest! Admission is by donation and offers public viewings multiple evenings every week. The observatory is located right next to the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, which aims to educate and inspire wonder and awe at our universe.
Whatever you decide to do while you're visiting or living in Vancouver, you just have to find the time to get it all done!
