We winterrupt our regular programming for the following:
Granville Island will be hosting their fourth annual Winterruption, a uniquely Vancouver winter festival, this weekend (Thursday Feb. 19 to Sunday Feb. 22).
While most of the country is snowed under at this time of year, winter in Vancouver is a distinctive yet unpredictable mix. Whatever the weather, you can expect a fabulous festival on Granville Island. We will interrupt your winter with international live music acts, street theatre in parking garages, puppets in the Picnic Pavilion and aerial dance under the bridge! At this multifaceted arts and culture festival, discover Granville Island’s distinct creative community and much, much more!

- A Chef’s Introduction to the Public Market Tour (Thu-Sun, 9am, 11am, and 1pm – free)
