Though many locals would argue that spring and summer are the preeminent seasons to showcase the city, there’s absolutely nothing that compares with a sunny autumn day in Vancouver. Undoubtedly, the highlight would be the breathtaking displays of red and gold foliage from the trees and shrubs in parks, city streets and even in downtown Vancouver; definitely IG worthy, too!
From Coal Harbour to False Creek to English Bay , you’ll witness the colourful change of season near the water’s edge; combining a spectacular waterfront vista with vibrant splashes of maple leaf red and golden yellow punctuating the landscape.
An annual fall event that lights up downtown Vancouver is the Lumiere Light Festival where several light installations are placed at various venues including the outdoor plaza of the Vancouver Art Gallery, in the heart of English Bay and in Lot 19, the little park right beside the Auberge Hotel. Prepare to be dazzled by the glittery display of lanterns, neon, interactive light-filled exhibits and in particular, LED-lit statues inspired by nature including Luna the killer whale , Stanley the heron , Eugenia the tree and the newest attraction: Davie the Bear ! Grab that pumpkin spice latte and explore: it’s time to FALL in love with Vancouver!
