Pumpkin spice lattes, visits to pumpkin patches and other costly autumn entertainments can be overwhelming for the wallet sometimes.
Sure, there are budget-friendly things to look forward to like Friendsgiving dinner and Halloween parties, but what about the remaining days of fall?
In Vancouver, there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the season without spending any money, including this month. Here are a few things you can do:
- Go to a community sunflower farm
- Find a good book at a library and spend the day reading
- You can also borrow a dog from Vancouver Public Library and read poetry to it
- Or visit some of Vancouver's whimsical book stores
- Make a custom passport catering to yours and your friends' interests, like this Vancouverite
- Go to a sunset roller disco at Sunset beach
- Stroll through Gastown for all the cozy fall feels
- Or see what the city would look like with zero cars
- Take Instagram photos with the colourful fall leaves
- Explore local farmer markets
- Bake seasonal desserts like gingerbread cookies or pumpkin pies
- Go to a giant Mexican fiesta
- Or attend another of the many cultural festivals in the city
- Watch football on Sundays and play football during the rest of the week
- Go on a fall road trip to another province or country
- Camp in your backyard and make s'mores on the stove
- Spend the day fishing
- Have a horror movie marathon with friends
