1. Granville Island Brewing’s Beer and Donut Pop-Up
Through May 24
Granville Island Brewing is celebrating the launch of the very summery-sounding Peach Sour with a pop-up collab featuring another Granville Island staple, Lee’s Donuts (the pop-up is in Gastown, so don’t get confused). The beer and peachy take on the donut are available all week, and they’re offering a can-for-a-can in support of the Food Bank (so if you bring a can of food to donate, they’ll give you a beer).
When: Through Monday May 24 from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily
Where: 45 Water St

3. The rEvolver Festival
May 19 to June 6
The rEvolver fest returns this year with a two-week long digital presentation series. Each online experience is designed to be interactive and thought-provoking—take Multi-Pocalypse Livestream (pictured above), in which “three Tricksters update you on news and olds from the unceded territory of the Coast Salish nations.” There’s bingo and a trivia-like chat game that you can participate in if you choose, or just take in the show the digital old-fashioned way.
When: Wednesday May 19 to Sunday June 6
Where: Online

4. Terminal City Glass’s Spring Cleaning Sale
May 22
This is your best chance to get one-of-a-kind blown glass at a more affordable price point—especially if you love art with a story. The talented folks at Terminal City Glass Co-Op are cleaning out their “imperfect” work (bits and bobs of experimental or flawed blown glass) and offering the public first dibs on their wacky wares. Think bowls, vases, cups, jewelry, sculpture, etc.—handle with care.
When: Saturday May 22 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Where: Mergatroid Building courtyard

They’re marking the launch with two performances streamed live from the Cultch.
