What to Do in Vancouver in January

Happy New Year! With the turn of the calendar, we once again welcome the air of a fresh start and new intentions for the months ahead, in whatever ways might work for each of us. For those of you hoping to get out of the house and into the city a little more, perhaps by watching a game, live performance, or other attraction, our wonderful Concierge team has once again compiled their monthly list of happenings around Vancouver for you! A few festivities from the holidays trickle into this month: Mean Girls is at the Queen Elizabeth, Jerry Seinfeld is in town, hockey is on, and the Harlem Globetrotters are on their 2024 world tour, so there’s a little something for everyone!

No matter what you do, the Fairmont Waterfront team hopes this year brings each of you joy and fulfillment in all of your endeavors. Here’s to 2024! Let’s make it great.
