Harmony Arts Festival

Let the sun shine in: Super summer festivals in Vancouver

This West Van festival has been celebrating the arts — visual, performance, musical and culinary — for over two decades on the picturesque waterfront just west of Ambleside. In early August, with over 80 tents showcasing the best of the North Shore’s artistic talents, festival-goers are treated to all manner of creative stimulation and inspiration. With loads of activities for kids and adults alike, it’s a great option for families day after day.
