The Vancouver International Wine Festival has been raising money for the performing arts since 1979, first for the now-defunct Playhouse Theatre Company and now for Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival.

Bard on the Beach’s 2018 season runs June 6 to September 22 and features As You Like It and Macbeth on the mainstage and Timon of Athens and Lysistrata on the studio stage.
