Delve into the arts, cultures, and marine environments of Asia during the Aquarium of the Pacific’s nineteenth annual Autumn Festival. Autumn Festival is going virtual this year and highlights the traditions and cultures of Japan, China, Korea, and the Philippines through a day of learning opportunities and family entertainment celebrating the rich diversity of Asian and Asian-American cultures.

This Halloween, tune in for a night of Scary Stories from a variety of accomplished, local storytellers, hosted by award-winning actor and one of the creators of Mom's the Word, Deborah Williams. The Flame is a sold-out monthly storytelling event, celebrating its 12th season. Well known in the Vancouver storytelling community for being a sizzling storytelling series, The Flame features personal, true stories shared with a live audience. This past June, Deborah won the Gordon Armstrong Playwright’s Rent Award for co-founding and coordinating The Flame. Her work in this Vancouver storytelling series was cited for continuing to provide “a marvellous, joy-filled resource… [and] celebrates the essential power of the liveness of theatre.”
