Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
The great outdoors is entertainment enough for many visitors and residents here, who sleep well after long days exploring the natural wonderland. Yet the north island has evening activities too. The theatre in Port McNeill is one of the region’s hot spot for concerts by touring musicians; the modern venue also presents a steady schedule of first-run movies. Watch for special events and performances at the Port Hardy Civic Centre.
Local musicians, artists and street performers strut their stuff at community festivals throughout the region. Fun festival highlights include Port Hardy’s FILOMI Days (mid-July), Alert Bay’s Seafest (third week of July) and Orcafest in Port McNeill (August).
