Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival is Western Canada’s largest Shakespeare Festival. Its 37th Season runs from June 9 to September 19, in modern theatre tents against a spectacular ocean backdrop in Sen̓áḵw/Vanier Park in Vancouver.
The 2026 Season offers a thrilling journey through comedy, tragedy, and myth, presenting bold new visions of timeless stories. The Merry Wives of Windsor, directed by Rebecca Northan, is a lively music-filled comedy set in a soccer-obsessed suburb, while a dystopian Macbeth, directed by Stephen Drover, provides a stark and bloody counterpoint.
Your summer is not complete until you’ve visited Bard! Tickets start at $30.
