Big Laughs & Bold Art

February in Vancouver is where winter shakes off its mid-season slump and decides to have a little fun. Actually, a lot of fun! Think roaring laughter, daring performances, prix-fixe feasts, and wine glasses that somehow never seem empty. It’s a month that proves the city doesn’t just endure winter… it shows off.

Here’s what’s stealing the spotlight downtown this February:

JUST FOR LAUGHS VANCOUVER: THE CITY GETS THE GIGGLES

If laughter really is the best medicine, Vancouver is fully stocked this month.

Just For Laughs Vancouver takes over stages across the city, delivering a lineup packed with stand-up stars, rising comedic voices, and perfectly timed punchlines. From sharp observational humour to delightfully unhinged storytelling, the festival offers something for every brand of funny.

Expect:

  • Big-name headliners and breakout comedians (Lucy Darling, Connor Wood, Drew Lynch, and many more)
  • Intimate club shows and high-energy theatre performances
  • The kind of laughter that leaves your face sore (worth it)

It’s the perfect excuse to bundle up, head downtown, and remember what joy sounds like when it’s shared by a packed crowd! 

DINE OUT VANCOUVER FESTIVAL: WINTER COMFORT, ELEVATED

February continues the delicious momentum with Dine Out Vancouver Festival, the city’s most beloved excuse to eat extremely well.

Hundreds of restaurants roll out curated menus designed to surprise, impress, and gently convince you that dessert is, in fact, mandatory.

On the menu:

  • Multi-course meals at crave-worthy price points
  • Global flavours reflecting Vancouver’s culinary soul
  • Special events, wine pairings, and chef-driven experiences

Whether you’re in the mood for refined elegance or cozy comfort food with flair, Dine Out makes February the most flavourful month of the year. Check out Stay Vancouver Hotels exclusive Dine Out Vancouver Prepaid Mastercard(R) offer when you book your stay with us!

PUSH INTERNATIONAL PERFORMING ARTS FESTIVAL: ART THAT LEANS IN

For those who like their culture bold, curious, and occasionally mind-bending, PuSh Festival keeps Vancouver’s creative pulse beating strong into February.

This internationally renowned festival brings together innovative artists from around the world, presenting performances that blur genres, challenge ideas, and invite conversation long after the curtain falls.

Expect:

  • Theatre, dance, and hybrid performances
  • Global perspectives and fearless storytelling
  • Art that doesn’t play it safe (and doesn’t need to)

PuSh is for audiences who like their nights out thoughtful, electric, and just a little unpredictable.
