WATERFRONT SIPS & SUNSET VIBES

At the Vancouver Maritime Museum, enjoy extended gallery hours until 8:00 PM and explore our fascinating exhibits, including the historic St. Roch. Then head out to our waterfront terrace, where you can relax in our beer garden, grab a bite from local food vendors, and take in spectacular views of English Bay. Plus, there’ll be live music from talented fiddle player Doug Medley.

Doug Medley moved to San Francisco in 1969 and soon found himself playing electric violin with acid rock bands. Also known as Fiddler Gone Wild, Doug wears a grin on his face and his eyes light up when playing the fiddle. Doug has played many musical styles over the years, from punk new wave to baroque chamber music. Influenced by folk and country rock he combines his explosive fiddling with his passion for Maritime Music.
