Vancouver’s creative scene thrives quietly but passionately. The city hosts the Vancouver International Film Festival, Vancouver Folk Music Festival, and numerous art walks and theatre performances throughout the year. You’ll find live music in cozy bars, street art in unexpected alleys, and indie film screenings in small theatres. Vancouver’s culture is diverse and modern, blending global influences with local voices.
Vancouverites are known for being friendly but private. Conversations often begin with weather talk — especially about rain — but friendships grow through shared experiences: hikes, markets, and community events. Health and wellness are part of the lifestyle here. Organic food, fitness, mindfulness, and environmental consciousness are deeply embedded in the city’s culture. It’s a place where people care — about themselves, others, and the planet.
