Lots happening in East Van this next week. Our weekly feature What’s On East Van sets out cool events for the upcoming week. Beyond the week, we invite you to check out our Event Listing which is updated daily and features events for the month and beyond.
The Goblin Market – York Theatre – On Now Till October 14, 2017
A well known poem, Goblin Market, by Christina Rosetti forms the basis of this performance and what a performance. To say contemporary circus doesn’t quite do it justice, it is so much more. The art, the music, the athleticism of the performers, the sexuality, the sisterhood. It’s something to see. We highly recommend seeing this show. Tickets are available through The Cultch.
Oktoberfest – The Alpen Club – October 6 & 7, 2017
Want to get your fill of German beer and food along with some live music? We suggest you check out Oktoberfest at The Alpen Club. Pull out those lederhosen and dirndls and get ready to dance. Event happens Friday and Saturday night kicking off at 8:00 pm. If you can’t make it this weekend, the festivities carry throughout the month on Fridays and Saturdays.
