Okay, we’ll admit it. We’re just about ready for the rain to stop and the glorious sun to come back around. But, that desire won’t stop us from having some fun around Vancouver this week. If you’re looking to join us, then we’ve got a few ideas in mind.

Here are the 10 best things to do in Vancouver this week.

Chilliwack Tulip Festival

The province’s largest tulip festival kicks off the week! Make a quick road trip to Chilliwack to experience acres upon acres of beautiful flowers blooming in a serene setting.

When: Opens for the season Monday, April 11th
Where: 41310 Yale Road, Chilliwack
Cost: $13+ for GA

On the flipside, those looking to enjoy our city’s most beautiful natural attraction (yeah, we’re making that claim) can spend the entire month looking for cherry blossoms and still not see them all! So, for the best places to go, we’ve helped you out.

‘Da Kink in my Hair

A new play comes via the Arts Club Theatre this week. The premise? Eight women share stories of their lives in a Toronto salon, offering a play that’s both heartbreaking and uplifting.

When: Starts Thursday, April 14th

Cost: $35+

Girl Talk

Vancouver concerts have come back in a big way. Girl Talk is maybe the most mainstream name associated with the mashup genre, and their upcoming Vancouver concert is going to make it easy to see why.

Where: 868 Granville Street
Cost: $40+

Mattiel

Just the name of the most recent album from this Atlanta duo sold us. Come on, how can you not be intrigued with a title like “Georgia Gothic”? We sure are, and the price is right.

Where: 147 E Pender Street
Cost: $17.50+
