<\/p>\nSpring arrives in March, and boy, do we welcome it! After the long, grey days in February, everyone is ready to do a gleeful dance when green buds start appearing on the plants, our days get longer, and we can finally pack away the winter wear. Metro Vancouver embraces the arrival of Spring every year by offering up a deluge of family-friendly events. Check out some of the highlights for March events 2026!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If your family loves to get outdoors and travel around this beautiful province, then you won\u2019t want to miss the Outdoor Adventure and Travel Show.

There\u2019s even an area for \u201cJunior Adventurers\u201d with a free climbing wall.<\/p>\n
Come hear a wealth of French Canadian and francophone folk, world, and original music \u2013 both traditional and new. Have fun at on-site activities, sample delicious food, and revel in an ambiance of warmth and welcome.<\/p>\n
Featured<\/strong>: Carousel Theatre for Young People presents Maurice Sendak’s classic story “Where the Wild Things Are.” For over 20 years, \u201cWhere the Wild Things Are\u201d has been a hit with audiences of kids and adults alike because of its playfulness and depiction of childhood. This classic story and production illuminate a child\u2019s fantastical world and remind us all that, regardless of the type of wild day we had, returning home to those who love us is the best place to be. The show is best suited for ages 3-7.<\/p>\n Featured<\/strong>: Gabby and the gang are thrilled to welcome audiences to Surrey on March 13 and Vancouver on March 15 with everyone’s favourite songs from the television series, including “Hey Gabby,” “Sprinkle Party,” and “You Can’t Spell Meow Without Me.”\u00a0 Featuring incredible puppets, vibrant costumes, and a dynamic set, this show will have audiences toe-tapping and clapping with joy! With 80 minutes of interactive dance and audience participation, fun special effects like bubbles and streamers, and a convenient intermission halfway through, even the youngest audience members will have a ball with the whole cat-astic crew!<\/p>\n Nature at night is a magical experience. Wander down forest trails decorated with glowing animal lanterns and meet friendly forest creatures who will delight you with nature tales. This is a one-hour, self-guided experience.<\/p>\n Does anyone else get a little chuckle out of Pi Day (aka March 14th<\/strong>, aka 3.14)? This is a great day to serve pie for breakfast, lunch and dinner– or plan a tour of some of The Best Pie Shops in Metro Vancouver.<\/a><\/p>\n Chapters Indigo is hosting their popular Spring Play Days from March 15 – 21, 2026.

This show is great for all ages of monster truck aficionados.<\/p>\n The most beautiful time of year is almost upon us in Metro Vancouver. The pink and white cherry blossoms are a quintessential image of Vancouver in the Spring. It is only fitting that an entire month-long festival is dedicated to the beautiful blossoms and their Japanese heritage. The official festival begins on March 28th with Blossoms After Dark and the Big Picnic takes place on March 29th this year.<\/p>\n There are so many great aspects about the month of March, but undoubtedly one of the best has to be the two-week Spring Break! With so many great shows, festivals, and special events taking place, you can plan the perfect staycation for your whole family.<\/p>\n For more information, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n When school takes a two-week break, parents can\u2019t always get that same amount of time off.
