A magnificent landscape, welcoming locals and a diversity of cultures help make BC shine. With thousands of festivals and events each year, the problem isn't whether there will be something to suit your tastes, but how to fit them all in during your stay!

Attend international sports events (like the BC Summer and Winter Games, international mountain biking, ski/snowboarding, golf and other sporting events), dragon-boat racing, seasonal fairs, farmers' markets, children and family-oriented days out, wine tastings, educational or wildlife excursions, fascinating lectures, art shows and many more.

Want more festivals? Explore BC's international, national and local film festivals, take in some rock/jazz/folk/bluegrass/classical music events, experience the splendour of the seasonal cherry blossoms, party on at a Pride bash, marvel at international fireworks or festive lights or take in one of the many First Nations, Asian and international arts and cultural experiences. It's all here - so what to do first?
