It’s Butterfly Kisses in ARC at Fairmont Waterfront. Bright and bubbly, the libation is made with Prosecco, lemon juice, honey syrup from the hotel’s bees, and gin infused with butterfly pea flowers by Wayward Distillation House. Butterfly kisses are done with partners close together, eyes almost touching with eyelids fluttering – like being kissed by the delicate wings of a butterfly. Priced at $18.

Everyone Loves a Parade. Nearly 100 colleagues from the four Vancouver properties will walk alongside the Fairmont float in the PRIDE parade led by Kendall Gender, the hotels’ PRIDE ambassador. “This is the second year we’ve been in the Parade but it’s our first float and we’re delighted family members were invited to join and will also be part of it,” says James Quinn, chair of Fairmont’s Regional Pride committee.
