About Kitsilano Showboat

Kitsilano Showboat is a beloved Vancouver institution dating back to 1935. It was launched to keep unemployed artists performing for audiences who couldn’t afford entertainment. Since then, generations of local performers have treated audiences to shows spanning the entertainment gamut, all set against the magnificent backdrop of English Bay and the North Shore mountains. We love free summer fun.

Join us at the Kitsilano Showboat for an unforgettable summer filled with music, dance, and community spirit!
