For the LOVE of Gastown.

Gastown is one of the most romantic neighbourhoods in the city. Call us biased, or just allow us to entertain you with some of the reasons why you should come fall in LOVE with, and in, Gastown over and over again this month. We personally never stop celebrating the love and diversity around here. 

From National Pizza Day to jazz nights to love themed cocktails, anti-love parties, love trees, photo shoots with loved ones, here are all of the things going down in Gastown this February…

IS THAT FRENCH

For the LOVE of Jazz.

Gastown is home to some of the best live music venues. It is also where jazz musicians from around the country dream of performing. With over seven intimate venues (underground, above ground, or in a back alley), there is live music going down in the neighbourhood on any given night. Including Gastown’s newest jazz night at Is That French (ft. live music and features every Thursday night). 

Find your live music venue for tonight.
