The melodies of the Kitsilano Showboat lured me off the deck tonight and it was perfect timing. You see, tonight was the official opening ceremony for the 71st season and I was able to snag a souvenir program. Why is this important? The Kitsilano Showboat Society isn’t exactly Internet-savy, so I’m being a good community samaritan by including the entire season schedule on Kitsilano.ca. Who cares you say? Well, Maryanne from California wrote me back in April to see if I knew the line-up so that she could fit a show in during her family holiday. Canadians go to Disneyland and Californians come to the Showboat. Read on for the entire schedule.

Thanks Rob – I’ve been looking for this.
WOW – thanks for this site. The information is just what I have been wanting.
Hi Rob,
Thank you for the info. We were able to see a couple of shows and I even won a prize 🙂

Hi folks! I spoke to a Vancouver Firefighter at Hats Off Day in Burnaby Heights about a week ago and he told me they’d be playing the 27th, but if rain, then the next day 28th. Your site has a weekday that doesn’t match the calendar date. Wednesday is the 27th
Hey Rudolf,

Great to have a chance for some nostalgia
