Parties in Vancouver

Looking for a night out with a theme? This category lists party events across Metro Vancouver, including club nights, DJ parties, costume and themed nights, boat cruises, rooftop and patio events, Pride parties, Halloween bashes and New Year's Eve celebrations. Most are in the Granville Street Entertainment District, Gastown, Yaletown and along Main Street, with more in Richmond, Burnaby and the North Shore. Some are hosted at hotels, event halls and waterfront venues.

Buy tickets in advance where possible, since popular parties sell out and door prices are usually higher. The legal drinking age in BC is 19, and most venues ask for two pieces of ID, so bring both. Check dress codes and whether coat check is available, especially in winter. Plan your trip home before you go out: SkyTrain and NightBus routes run late, but service ends, and taxis and rideshares can be busy on big nights such as Halloween and New Year's Eve.
