Marco Polo Memories

Experience the glamour, music, and vibrant spirit of old Chinatown nightlife as we celebrate the legendary Marco Polo Nightclub!

Step into the golden era of Vancouver’s Chinatown for two unforgettable nights inside the Chinatown Storytelling Centre’s new Learning Lab. Inspired by the legendary Marco Polo nightclub, these intimate evenings feature live stories from the children of the Louie family that owned the nightclub, a musical performance by Henry Young, and light refreshments as guests relive the glamour, energy, and community spirit of Chinatown after dark.

Let’s take a walk down memory lane together, come dressed for a night out at the Marco Polo circa 1960s and send photos of your memories at the Marco Polo to janelle@chinatownfoundation.org.
