ONE LAST SHOW. ONE MORE NIGHT TO MAKE MEMORIES. 💚

Before the year comes to a close, we are bringing the city together one more time.

Sounds of the City returns on December 19 for our final show of the year, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Expect live music, incredible performances, familiar faces, new connections and the kind of energy that reminds you why there’s nothing quite like experiencing music together.

Taking the stage this time are @etchosz , @justcisse and @kaya.ko.music , supported by our band, bringing their sounds to the Annex Theatre for one final celebration with the Shades of YVR community.

Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or you’ve been meaning to experience Sounds of the City for the first time, this is your invitation.

Let’s close out the year together. And maybe get a little festive while we’re at it. 🎄

📍 Annex Theatre, Vancouver
📅 December 19, 2026

Vancouver voted mostly orange. BC went blue. City Hall went green. So who actually runs the city?

Different shades. One city.

A city can measure progress in new homes, density and development. But how do we measure what gets lost along the way?

As Vancouver continues to grow, the conversation around housing needs to make room for more than construction targets. It also needs to consider security, belonging and the people who make a neighbourhood what it is.

Because a neighbourhood isn’t just a collection of buildings. It’s a place where people build their lives.

Where do you think the balance should lie?

Halloweekend came with a little extra star power! 👻

The costumes were out, the music was loud and @tydollasign was in the building. 🔥

@clubandonis x @slowmotionyvr r brought the Halloween afterparty to life. Safe to say, the night had its moments!

Vancouver’s winter mornings are about to get a little darker. With sunrise expected after 9am.

We’re curious, are you a morning person regardless of the weather, or are you staying under those covers a little longer? 🧐

Every neighbourhood has a story, but as Vancouver continues to grow, those stories are changing too.

What does the future look like for the communities that make this city what it is? 👀

Which neighbourhood do you think has changed the most? 🏡

At just 21, Solomon Yi-Kieran @solomon.xyk has made history as Vancouver’s youngest-ever city councillor. 👏

After advocating for better transit as a UBC student, Yi-Kieran is now taking those goals to city hall, with plans to push for the SkyTrain extension to UBC, covered bus stop benches and dedicated bus lanes.

Now elected with @copevancouver the focus is on turning those ideas into action.

@tinashenow is taking the Popstar era on the road with her The Show Must Go On Tour. 🎤

Bridge or tunnel? The future of the George Massey crossing could be changing again. 👀

B.C.’s incoming government wants to revive the 10-lane bridge proposal, with Lorne Doerkson’s team claiming it could cost $5 billion less than the planned $8.5-billion tunnel and be completed sooner.

A final budget for the bridge has yet to be released.

Some of Vancouver’s most interesting stories are found in its neighbourhoods. 👀

This fall, take a walk through Strathcona, Powell Street and Punjabi Market, three areas shaped by the communities, cultures and histories that helped build the city.

Save this guide for your next city walk, and tell us which neighbourhood you’d like to explore first.
