Set in scenic Vanier Park at 1695 Whyte Ave, Vancouver, BC V6J 5C3, Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival delivers classic and reimagined Shakespeare on the waterfront. Since 1990, the festival has invited fans into its signature open-air tents, where the stage plays against vistas of the North Shore mountains, English Bay, and the skyline for a uniquely Vancouver theatre experience.
The site features two intimate venues, the BMO Mainstage and the Howard Family Stage in the Douglas Campbell Theatre tent, with reserved seating and clear sightlines. Each summer, typically June through September, brings beloved tragedies and comedies, inventive adaptations, pre-show talks, and post-show conversations. Guests can explore the Bard Village, enjoy local wine and bites at concessions, and plan special nights like Bard-B-Q and Fireworks during the Celebration of Light. The grounds are transit friendly with paths for cyclists and pay parking at Vanier Park. Accessible seating and assistive listening devices are available.
