Vancouver is such a strange and backwards provincial city.

For a city that claims that it doesn't have a NO FUN CITY (NFC) vibe, it occasionally keep emerging.

Fortunately, the mind virus that is Vancouver hasn't caught on with most cities around the world.

It's one thing if some people living close to the beach don't want to hear drinking parties going on until 2 or 3 AM. However, reasonably behaved people should be able to enjoy summer sunsets from a beach vantage point. Summer goes by too quickly in BC, so the best time to enjoy the beach is during the summer.
To think that there used to be a Vancouver Sea Festival. Fortunately, Vancouver was unable to get Seattle to give up on its Seafair. https://www.seafair.org/what-is-seafair
Vancouver was never able to waterdown the Calgary_Stampede. https://www.calgarystampede.com
Vancouver should be making it easier to have summer festivals, not more difficult.
Hopefully, the Vancouver Mind Virus (VMV) will never be accepted in proper cities around the world.

Fortunately, the Caribana Festival is far away from backwards Vancouver.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribana#Economics_and_impact May it never be watered down or cancelled by anything like the Vancouver Mind Virus. The VMV is so horrible, don't let it take over your city.
