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.

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.

Vancouver was never able to waterdown the Calgary_Stampede. https://www.calgarystampede.com

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.
