About Frosh Kickoff 2026

A late-night kickoff for the start of the academic year, timed for students who are just settling into term and looking for the first big night out. A 10pm start keeps things running well past midnight, with the crowd skewing young and the energy loud and celebratory. Expect a dance-heavy set list built for a room that wants to move rather than stand and watch. It's the kind of show that marks the unofficial start of the school social calendar rather than the anniversary of anything in particular.

Where to stay nearby

Most visitors base themselves in the city centre, which sits closest to the venue and has by far the largest choice of hotels. North Vancouver is a short trip across the water and offers a quieter, smaller set of options for those who don't need to be right in the thick of it. Richmond is a bit further out but well connected, and works well if you're arriving via the airport or want a wider range of hotel prices to choose from.

Vancouver — about 4 km away

Vancouver itself has the widest range of accommodations and sits just 4km from the venue, making it the natural choice if you want walkable neighborhoods, restaurants, and nightlife at your doorstep.
