We have officially hit the end of July, the dog days of summer as they say! The hottest days of the year are upon us. The kiddos have been off school for over a month now and things might not be as blissful as you may have imagined it! Or maybe you and your partner have found yourself in a summer rut with nothing exciting to check out! Well, we’ve rounded up some really great ideas so you can head into August with lots of activities to keep everyone busy!

Burnaby Blue and Roots Festival
Sit back and take in one of the best FREE blues fests in the lower mainland! August 12th at Deer Lake Park.
A summer classic! On from August 19, 2023 – September 4, 2023. Their concert series is full of great acts. There’s lots of ways to save money and still enjoy the fair, bring water and snacks with you or check out some of the dates they have discounted tickets!
As locals we often forget about the classics! If you visit during the summer as a BC resident you can buy an annual pass for the same cost as a single entry ticket. This means you can check out the Canyon Lights display in the winter for added benefits!
There are so many FREE events to round out August. Getting out of the house and enjoying summer doesn’t have to cost a fortune! We hope you found something new to do in our activity guide! And if you aren’t feeling active – head into one of our air conditioned stores to put your feet up and relax!
We strive to inspire — to help you discover quality products that work with every aspect of your life. Whether you choose a stationary sofa, sectional, or recliner from our full motion collection, you can be assured that each piece reflects your creative vision … as well as your need for value and comfort.
Wow, these summer activity ideas are fantastic! It’s hard to believe we’re already at the end of July, but with the “dog days” here, it’s the perfect time to make the most of the remaining summer days. Having the kids out of school for a month has been both delightful and challenging, so having a variety of activities to keep them engaged is a lifesaver. Whether it’s outdoor adventures like picnics, hiking, or water parks, or indoor fun like arts and crafts, movie nights, or family game tournaments, these suggestions are sure to bring excitement and joy to August. Thanks for sharing these awesome ideas!
