There are three major party holidays in Canada; New Year’s Eve, St. Patrick’s Day and, you guessed it, Halloween. With the latter coming up in a matter of weeks, party-goers are running out of time to make their plans, so we’re here to help.
Vancouver may not have a world-renowned nightlife scene, but that doesn’t stop us from throwing dozens of parties in honour of the spookiest night of the year. Night clubs and hotels around the city and even the Pacific Coliseum are playing host to some of the biggest Halloween bashes at the end of the month, so you don’t have to worry where you’ll wear that clever “Netflix and Chill” costume you just thought of (guys, you wear a t-shirt that says “Netflix” on it and carry around a bucket of ice. It’s golden).
