Summer Festival Season offers a wealth of arts, music and entertainmant. Here is a quick overview and timeline:
Also, this summer, The Lion King is at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre(see below) and Cirque du Soleil returns(July 22-Aug. 22) with "Kooza". Anytime of year, check out the excitement of our casinos and the rich diversity of arts and entertainment programs at the Orpheum, the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, the Centre for Performing Arts, the Chan Centre and the beloved Commodore Ballroom. Whistler/Blackcomb (North America's #1 ski resort) is a very scenic 100 minute drive away on a newly improved Sea to Sky Highway. See where the 2010 Winter Olympics were played out. Check out all the new state of the art runs and facilities. Every
year, Gay Whistler hosts the exhilerating
WinterPride - a chance to combine
beauty and brawn with a fun stopover in Vancouver.
With
our B & B's easy access to the scenic Skytrain, Seabus, Aquabus and
regular bus systems, it is a cinch to explore Granville
Island and further afield to the Museum
of Anthropology, Wreck
Beach (clothing optional), Van
Dusen Botanical Gardens and North Shore attractions like Capilano
Suspension Bridge and Grouse
Mountain Skyride. In Vancouver, getting there, really is half
the fun. Airport to Nelson House B & B: The new Canada Line(LRT) will whisk you from the airport to downtown for only CAD.$3.50 per person. We recommend getting off at the Roundhouse-Yaletown station. From there, it's only a $5 cab ride to the bed and breakfast. Alternatively, a taxi directly from the airport will bring you to our door for about CAD.$30 and take only twenty minutes. Foodies, you have no doubt heard that our vibrant, multicultural city has some of the best dining in the world. It is no exaggeration. Guests from Tokyo rave about the freshness of our Japanese food and guests from Taiwan exult over the vast variety of Vancouver's Chinese cuisine. It's hard to keep up with the ever-changing deliciousness of this city's 4500 restaurants. Here's the tip - our hip, former hippie weekly, named Georgia Straight, compiles one of the best and most objective local food guides. Prepare for your fine dining. Here is the 2010 Golden Plates Awards list.
If you are coming to Vancouver for the purpose of a Gay/Lesbian Wedding, please see this link for a simple, step by step explanation of how to proceed and a list of "friendly" Marriage Commissioners. These Commissioners may also be able to assist you with the provision of witnesses and an interesting locale for the ceremony. There are other links below to fee for service wedding consultants. Of course,
Nelson House B & B offers accommodation to you and your wedding
party. While registered as our guests, our garden or Shangri-La Suite
may be available for a small wedding ceremony(a maximum of 5 persons including
the Marriage Commissioner). Due to the needs of other guests, the use
of our public rooms cannot always be guaranteed. For larger events or
those which require catering, we can recommend an open-minded mainstream
church and a heritage house museum with garden gazebo; both are just a
short walk from us. For a nominal fee, we can also provision your Suite
with extra flowers, champagne & chocolates to sweeten the occasion. Nelson
House B & B is close to it all. We know the best means to
enjoy a bike around the park, a romantic dinner/boat cruise, kayaking,
whale-watching, river-rafting or a day trip to Victoria and elsewhere.
Between adventures, big and small, our living and dining rooms offer a
comfortable mix of books, music, antiques and contemporary furnishings.
We promise to

rom
the front-porch bench overlooking our garden, you can quietly contemplate
the day. It is only a ten minute stroll from the bed and breakfast to
world famous 
Vancouver's
summer is in full bloom. Bonica roses sweeten our mornings. The sound
of our fountain soothes in the afternoon. There are a thousand reasons
to want to go play outside. You may start off for
a walk on the seawall, idle sunning on the beach and
share
our personal sightseeing, dining and shopping secrets. Our fireplaces
may remind you of a gentler era. Relaxation and friendly conversation
will remind you that you are in a century-old home and not a hotel.
