In case you missed it: Time Out Market Vancouver has been open for a whole month!

Located inside Oakridge Park Mall, a sprawling hub for shopping, dining and culture, the new drink and dining destination brings together the city's most celebrated chefs and bar talents under one roof. While you should definitely visit for the incredible food and drinks, there’s also a curated lineup of live music, DJ sessions and sports screenings (with the soccer season on as we speak). Plus, the Time Out Corner and Hideaway Lounge host a weekly workshop so you can pair your meal with an activity. 

Here’s what’s on this July.

1. Stir, shake, sip and savour

The food may be the main attraction at Time Out Market Vancouver but the drinks are just as worth the trip. On July 8, pull up a seat at the bar and learn how to shake, stir and pour like a pro at this 75-minute cocktail masterclass. Led by Canadian Club ambassador Mike McLean from Suntory Global Spirits, the hands-on workshop starts at 7pm and includes a welcome drink, an exclusive gift and plenty of insider tips. Want to make a night of it? Add a $20 food credit to use at the Market. The event is open to guests aged 19 and over.

2. Candle making workshop

If you’re more into the cosy things in life, book a ticket for the candle making class on July 22 at 7pm. Led by Ollie & Co, the beginner-friendly two-hour class will teach you how to pour your own candle with wcustom fragrance blends inspired by classic cocktails. Tickets include a $30 gift card and a bonus branded apron so keep up the hobby at home. 

3. Mahjong Mondays

Put your phone away and head down to Time Out Market on July 27 for Mahjong Mondays. Participants can drop by from 6pm, grab a beverage from the Cocktail Bar and spend three hours immersed in the sharp clacking of shuffling tiles. The event is free play so you can move around the room challenging new opponents. If you’re new to the tile-matching puzzle game, sign up for the August intro to Mahjong 101 with Lucky Tile Mahjong here.

Sundays slow things down with live jazz from 5-8pm, while Mondays promise fresh artists taking to the main stage from 5-8pm. Settle in this summer with a drink, meal and a show – this is the place to be.
