All kinds of live music acts take to the city’s many stages every night and there are some fine venues to choose from. The theatre scene is lively too, and for dance Vancouver is fast gaining a reputation as the country’s second city after Montreal. British Columbians love going to the movies, and there are some excellent cinemas in town, whose repertoires go well beyond the usual Hollywood fare. A host of festivals through the summer keep the city’s parks and beaches full of music, theatre and more.
