British Columbia: Bard on the Beach Vancouver

We have enjoyed Shakespeare at a variety of venues over the years including Stratford on Avon and London but nothing is quite a beautiful as Vanier Park in Vancouver, the location of the Bard on the Beach Festival which runs from the end of June through September.

2014 was the 25th Anniversary of Bard on the Beach. Almost a thousand patrons can be seated between the Mainstage tent and Douglas Campbell Theatre tent. The Mainstage Tent seats over 700 and has open ends so that the spectacular scenery is never far away. Attendance in 2013 was almost 90,000.

It was an amazing experience, to say the least, to be able to enjoy the bard in this setting. There is a bard village where vendors offer concessions as well as the bard boutique.
