Gallant & Jones deckchair

Kick back and relax in a Gallant & Jones deckchair—designed and produced in Vancouver. This stylish addition to any outdoor space is made of North American Black Walnut wood and comes with a colourful selection of fabrics (including the Nefyn, pictured). Cool fact: the product names reflect places near and dear to the creators, including West Coast spots Jericho Beach, Kitsilano and Tofino. Purchase one of these oh-so-comfy loungers, an adjustable pillow and a footstool at Casa or online at www.gallantandjones.com.—Jennifer Patterson

What do you get when you take 60 performers from around the world, add a seaside setting in the world’s most photogenic city, then mix in generous amounts of food, fun and sun? The Vancouver Folk Music Festival, now in its 34th year, which brings musicians such as Joel Plaskett & The Emergency, Gillian Welch and Rosanne Cash to Jericho Beach Park for three magical days each summer. Face painting, storytelling and other activities for little folks are an added bonus.—Sheri Radford

Combine an afternoon at the beach with drinks and a bite at any number of handy haunts. Local Public Eatery (pictured) boasts a bustling patio right across from grassy Kits Beach, while the deck of The Boathouse Restaurant is the perfect spot for a bucket of shrimp and a cold cerveza in the heart of English Bay. Locals make sunset treks to Jericho Beach’s The Galley Patio & Grill to watch the yachts over buffalo burgers and R&B pale ale.—Tim Pawsey
