March 2024 Highlights

March is the month of International Women’s Day (on March 8th), St. Patrick’s Day (on March 17th) and Spring Break school holidays. Very occasionally Easter also happens in March, instead of April, and that’s the case in 2024. March is also the start of the spring flower and cherry blossom seasons, and a popular time for spring skiing (although likely not this year).

Major events that happen in March include Shen Yun performances at Queen Elizabeth Theatre and the Vancouver International Auto Show at the Vancouver Convention Centre. The last couple of days or so of the Vancouver International Wine Festival happen in early March this year too. There is also the Monster Jam monster truck event, Festival du Bois francophone festival, and Indigenous events like Hoobiyee at the PNE Forum and Coastal First Nations Dance Festival in New Westminster.

Other events in March are the BC Bike Show, Outdoor Adventure & Travel Show, Vancouver Chocolate Run, Big 80’s Run, and a night-club style event of some kind out on the water with Vancouver Boat Parties. This year it’s a Holi Fest Bollywood Cruise. In 2024 there is also the Sea to Sky Model Train & Hobby Show at the Railway Museum of BC in Squamish.

March is the month of St. Patrick’s Day. Related events on our around March 17th include the CelticFest series of events, parties at nightclubs, and a concert or two with the Vancouver Welsh Men’s Choir. There is also the Shamrock’n Race at Burnaby Lake Regional Park.

Easter normally happens in April. In 2024, however, the long weekend runs from Friday, March 29th, until Monday, April 1st (which is also April Fools Day). Easter events in the Lower Mainland include the Big Easter Run, Easter Brunches, and family-friendly events at places like Fantasy Farms, Greendale Acres, Taves Family Farms and Maan Farms in the Fraser Valley. Britannia Mine Museum, Gulf of Georgia Cannery and other attractions also have special Easter events and activities.
