Bard on the Beach is Western Canada's largest not-for-profit professional Shakespeare Festival, staging plays and special events in two modern performance tents set against a backdrop of mountains, sea, and sky in Vancouver's Sen̓áḵw/Vanier Park. Now in its 37th season, the festival presents multiple Shakespeare productions alongside related dramas and special events such as improv nights. The Vanier Park site sits directly along Vancouver's waterfront seawall cycling corridor, making it a natural cultural stop for touring cyclists exploring the city's coastline.
