If winter has you feeling left out in the cold, don’t miss
Winterruption (Feb. 17 to 19; page 52). Back for its 12th
year, this festival puts a freeze on the winter blues with a
line-up of live music, theatre, dance and more. Grab a hot
chocolate and watch artist Ola Volo’s mural come to life,
take in performances by the Vancouver TheatreSports
League, catch a pop-up dance or enjoy the laid-back jazz of
Black Gardenia. Or simply wander Granville Island, pop into
the Public Market (page 17) and start warming up to spring.
