VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwire - Dec 22, 2011) - Everyone will be heading to British Columbia in February where special events and hotel deals in Vancouver are offering endless opportunities for snow-capped adventure and exhilarating entertainment.
Starting with Vancouver's all-new City and Slope program and concluding with the eighth annual rendition of ComedyFest, there are plenty of reasons to make way to fun and laughter as these two events focus on the treasured advantages of a city that is truly "Spectacular by Nature."
The four-day City and Slope event set for February 9-12, 2012 focuses on the winter activities of Grouse, Cypress and Seymour Mountains; free and paid cultural and music-related events within Vancouver's outdoor and indoor venues, and accommodations at the Renaissance Vancouver Harbourside Hotel, a leader among downtown Vancouver luxury hotels, to provide visitors with an exceptional festival atmosphere and convenient access to some of the area's finest attractions.
Special lift bundles to revered slopes provide access to world-class skiing, snowboarding, ice skating and other bountiful winter activities atop these snow clad mountains, while unique city events provide loads of entertainment. Events and exhibits such as Illuminate Yaletown, a free multi-night street party featuring light installations from local artists; the new Neon Gallery at the Museum of Vancouver and a dynamic lighting display at the Telus World of Science are just a few of the many drawing cards Vancouver will offer during this inaugural event.
Later in the month, those seeking a lighthearted reprieve from a boring daily schedule will find plenty of laughter during the 10-day ComedyFest set for February 16-25, 2012. With fun-filled shows scattered about the city, prestigious Robson Street hotels are ideal for capturing the essence of this unique gathering featuring performances by internationally recognized comedians such as Betty White, Carol Burnett, Margaret Cho, Jeremy Hotz and the duo of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross.
