5 Reasons McArthurGlen is the Unique Canada Day Day-Trip You’ve Been Looking For

There are so many Canada Day Celebrations to choose from, but chances are you’ve already done the BBQ circuit on more than a few holiday long weekends. This is a great year to try something a little different.

There are so many Canada Day Celebrations to choose from, but chances are you’ve already done the BBQ circuit on more than a few holiday long weekends. This is a great year to try something a little different. With fantastic food, shopping, and a symphony performance centred around Vancouver’s largest outdoor yoga event, McArthurGlen Designer Outlet’s July 1st festivities actually offers something each member of your family can enjoy. Save the park parties for another day. Here are a few reasons to get excited:

1. Vancouver’s Largest Outdoor Yoga Event

Since 2012, the Lolë White Tour has united more than 50,000 yogis across the globe. This is an amazing opportunity to get some exercise while taking a moment to reflect on our good fortune as Canadians. On-site participants will also receive a limited edition Lolë yoga mat and a deluxe gift bag filled with a Lolë promo card and exciting goodies from your favourite McArthurGlen brands. All yogis are asked to dress in white from head to toe to reflect a symbol of peace back into the world. Last year’s event sold-out quickly; so be sure to check out the event details HERE.

2. Great food, great coffee!

Once you’ve worked up your appetite, explore McArthurGlen’s European-inspired shopping village and grab a bite. There’s a selection of restaurants ranging from sushi to award winning pizzerias, gourmet frozen yogurt, coffee and more. Please every palette and fuel up; you’ve got some shopping to do.

3. Deals, Deals, Deals

Need new summer threads? Want to get a jump on back-to-school clothes? McArthurGlen Designer Outlet’s highly anticipated annual summer sale kicks off July 1st as well with designer brands offering exclusive discounts up to 70% less. This includes Hugo Boss, Armani, Ted Baker, Michael Kors, Coach, Club Monaco, Nike, the new Kate Spade store and many more.

4. Something for the Kids

Let’s be real. Shopping with kids can be a challenge. It’s not their fault though. Appreciation for say, a 50% off sign above this season’s handbags is something that comes with age. Fortunately, McArthurGlen’s Canada Day Celebration includes a Kids Zone complete with face painting, games and prizes and a giant interactive “Why I Heart Canada” chalk wall.

5. A Symphony Performance and Birthday Celebration

The entire day will be capped off with a performance of Broadway Comes to Canada and a life size Canada cupcake flag for everyone to enjoy!

Celebrate Canada Day in Style as McArthurGlen kicks off their highly anticipated summer sale and Canada’s 150th with Vancouver’s largest outdoor yoga event, live music, and the Canada Day Kids Zone. For more details, visit McArthurGlen online, or follow them on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
