    October is POPPIN'.

    Lots to discover this weekend: Get amped up for dancing like summer never ended, or do the chicken dance while drinking your weight in fluid ounces of beer.

    Or maybe you're more of a culture vulture that'll be into the art book sale, a new sonic culture festival, or stage plays. Or are you looking to get a head start on your cold weather hibernation and cosplay Fat Bear Week by diving into all the upcoming restaurant pop-ups?

    And that's just this weekend. There's a lot more coming and it'll all come fast—don’t even get us started on how the city’s streets are going to explode with colour.

    Start marking your calendars, grab your PSL lattes, throw on your flannel, and let's get to it.
