You can just look out your window and see autumn right in front of you. Here in Vancouver, the dead give-away is rain..rain..rain… We definitely cannot complain after the summer we were blessed with. Every day seemed like a record high with the sunshine blazing and the temperatures soaring. So, try and make the best of it because the rain ain’t going anywhere.
October is one of my favourite months because we have Thanksgiving and Halloween to look forward to. Every area celebrates Fall in different ways but the most popular event seems to be the Pumpkin Patch Festivals. West Vancouver hosts an annual festival that you just shouldn’t miss out on.
Thousands of people come out every year for the West Vancouver Harvest Festival and Full Moon Harvest Dance. This year the dance is being held on Saturday, October 3rd from 7:00pm-11:00pm in the West Vancouver Community Centre Atrium. It’s a family affair with tons of kid’s events going on and for the parents you can participate in the live or silent auctions. There is always lots of great food and drinks to indulge in to your heart’s content. On Sunday, October 4th come and join in from 10:00am-3:00pm for the Harvest Festival. There will lots of local exhibits, animals and all day activities for every member of the family.
