Summer hasn't quite arrived, but weekend festivals and outdoors activities make May and June the gateway months to a summer full of 'musts' in Vancouver USA.
Visiting all of the area's seasonal markets is a must for foodies and health nuts alike, and events like the Spring Art Show and Sale and Garden Walking Tours of Arnada Neighborhood will have artists and gardeners ready to reach for their paintbrushes and spades. For those with a "work hard, play hard" mindset, the annual Vancouver USA Marathon and post-race Vancouver Summer Brewfest is a guaranteed winner.
Now the only question is, what will you add to your summer ‘must' list?
Below you'll find a selection of original events and Vancouver USA attractions. For more area happenings, check out our full events calendar and, while you're there, explore our award-winning website.
