Things to Do in Vancouver – November 2025

TRANSFORM Festival
November 6 – 8 and 14 – 15
Big than ever, this year’s TRANSFORM Festival takes over the Vancouver Playhouse for its celebration of work by Indigenous artists. The festival focuses on empowering Indigenous artists and encouraging collaboration with non-Indigenous artists, across performances spanning music, theatre, drag, comedy and circus. The Opening BASH! and Closing BASH! nights bookend a play (Wolf Cull, November 7), an ensemble concert (Where The Rivers Meet, November 8) and a musical (The Starwalker Experience, November 14) for an experience that aims to defy expectations.

North Shore Craft Beer Week
November 7 – 20
The craft beer scene on Vancouver’s North Shore is so strong that not only does it have its own craft beer week, but a craft beer “week” that actually stretches for a fortnight! The festival kicks-off with a launch party on November 7, with each of the following 13 nights then hosted by a different North Shore brewery (plus one cidery and two distilleries). Each feature night offers a theme, with everything from new beer releases and food specials, through to a History of Music trivia night at Wildeye Brewing, a Mexican fiesta dance party at La Cervecería Astilleros, and a Game Day Tailgate at Black Kettle Brewing.

Lee Miller: A Photographer At Work
November 7 – February 1, 2026
The very definition of “fascinating”, American photographer Lee Miller had a life that ran the gamut: from photographic model to a collaborator of Surrealist artist Man Ray, owner of her own studio, and later in life, an award-winning cook. Lee Miller: A Photographer At Work at the Polygon Gallery examines work from perhaps the most fascinating part of that timeline, which saw her work as a war correspondent for British Vogue—one of the only women to cover front line combat in Europe—as well as a commercial photographer for cosmetic and fragrance brands.

World Supercross Championship Vancouver
November 15
World Supercross comes to Vancouver this month with the Canadian GP at BC Place Stadium. This high-octane event includes the globe’s best riders competing for international teams, to prove who’s best in the world of stadium motocross. This is what they call “full send racing”: short-format races, tight corners and big jumps, and an evening that includes music, lights and fireworks.
