Vancouver's circuit clusters around Vancouver Pride at the start of August — one of Canada's biggest — when Davie Village becomes the center of the universe for a weekend. The parties lean into the setting: 4FTERWERK downtown, a MACHO men's night in the Village, and a Pride boat party cruising Vancouver Harbour with the mountains as a backdrop. It's a compact, walkable gayborhood, so you can bounce between floors on foot. Come for the Pride long weekend — it's when the city turns it all the way up.
