The fresh air, the vibrant colours, welcome to fall on Vancouver’s North Shore!
If you’re looking to ring in the new season with brisk strolls, playful wildlife, and cozy day trips, then you’ve come to the right spot! Autumn offers a fresh perspective on some of our most well-known attractions. From the refreshing seasonal air high above the river at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, to the panoramic view of the region’s changing colour palette from atop Grouse Mountain. Follow the crisp seaside breeze along the shore with a kayaking tour, or explore our incredible network of foot paths and hiking trails for a bit of rejuvenating forest therapy. The cooler temperature means you can stay out a bit longer exploring all the incredible sights of the season, all the more reason to North Shore Like a Local!
Hungry for more autumn adventure?
The North Shore foodie scene always makes the most of the seasonal harvest! Fresh local produce ensures that you’re getting the best ingredients at the height of their flavour. Look no further than The Quay Market and Food Hall where you can sample the tastes of the season with fresh-baked goods and piping hot specialty drinks, made to order. The nearby Shipyards District is the perfect place to stroll along the water with your treats, taking in the ocean views. On Brewery Row, you can sip the seasonal taps with an inspired selection of beers like spiced porters and pumpkin ales. Of course, at Honey’s Doughnuts in Deep Cove, you can never go wrong with a post-hike pumpkin donut and latte. Follow your taste buds around each unique North Shore neighbourhood and you’re sure to find something to savour!
Vancouver’s North Shore is full of festive ways to ring in the fall!
Start by putting on your best sweater and taking in the seasonal community programming at culture hubs like Polygon Gallery or MoNoVA. Both are wonderful spaces to find artistic inspiration and learn about local heritage. With your new creative spark, you can then check out an art workshop with North Van Arts, where you can practice a watercolour of local nature scenes. The rest of the community is getting inspired for the season as well! With the Craft Beer Festival, you can taste the inventive seasonal creations from area brew masters. Then at the Coho Festival, you’ll join in celebrating the return of Coho salmon to North Shore rivers— a great family event with an outstanding BBQ menu! Over at Maplewood Farm, they’ll be hosting their annual Harvest Festival, where kids can visit the pumpkin patch and meet friendly barnyard animals. Check out our Events Calendar for more!
