Looking for family fun? Check out the best events in February in Metro Vancouver.
“F” is for Festival this February! There are so many great events and festivals happening in February, and they are all squished into the shortest month of the year. Mark your calendars for Groundhog Day (Feb 2), Valentine’s Day (Feb 14), and Family Day (Feb 20), to name just a few of the special days this month.
If you are looking for ideas, the Family Fun Vancouver calendar is updated frequently, so be sure to have a look. We keep a running list of Cheapie and Freebie events, as well as Concerts and Shows that you won’t want to miss! Our weekend round-up gets published on Wednesdays (unless life happens and then it comes out on Thursdays).
Have a fantastic February everyone!
