Science World After Dark is what every adult dreams of: all the fun of Vancouver’s renowned science centre without the youngsters running around. And this summer they’re throwing a big party you won’t want to miss.

Science World is hosting a special Celebrating Pride edition of After Dark on Thursday, August 3 under the dome.

That means you and your friends over 19 can enjoy drag performances, live music, interactive activities, and more. All with drinks in hand!

“Celebrate Vancouver Pride with an incredible lineup of performers, drag stars, and science communicators,” explained Science World’s website. “Together we’ll honour the rich history of Pride in Vancouver while uplifting our 2SLBGBTQIA+ communities and looking towards a future free from hate.”

Batty B Banks, Vancouver’s non-binary drag superstar, is the host for After Dark: Celebrating Pride. The acclaimed entertainer holds a Bachelor of Science degree and has performed with Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and Just for Laughs Vancouver.

You can also take a dive into James Cameron – Challenging The Deep and discover the three-time Oscar winner’s extensive career as a deep-sea explorer as well as his extraordinary expeditions.

The epic exhibit will bring visitors to the depths of Earth’s oceans through the lens of the Avatar director’s underwater cameras and his other technological innovations.
