We all know, life is expensive. That got us to thinking about the many free events that regularly take place in and around East Vancouver. Our community centers always have lots of family friendly events open to all ages. There also free movies, art exhibitions and much more. We wanted to share some of the free events that we’ve come across that will be happening in East Van in the coming months. Note, we do update this list regularly.
