A Warm (and Cold) August at Kolm Kontrast
Vancouver’s sauna and cold plunge community has a packed calendar this August, and Kolm Kontrast on West 8th is bringing together heat, cold, music, and wellness with a full lineup of special events. Whether you’re looking for a high-energy sauna session, live music, or a peaceful evening to reset, there’s something happening all month long.
Experience the Energy of After Hours Aufguss
Saturdays are all about the After Hours Aufguss Show. On August 1, 15, and 29 at 8:45 PM, expect dramatic lighting, EDM music, and the towel-waving performance that has made Aufguss one of the most exciting sauna experiences around.
Relax with Live Music Every Friday
Friday afternoons come with a live soundtrack from 3:00–5:00 PM. Folk artist Tim Claridge performs on August 7, followed by a relaxing handpan performance, while KurtTheViolinist closes out the month on August 21 with violin-led instrumental pop.
Turn Up the Heat with Live DJ Night
Looking for something different? On August 14, DJ YUDU brings house music to the sauna for an unforgettable evening that combines energetic beats with hot and cold therapy.
Unwind at Coldplay Theme Night
On August 21, After Hours takes a more relaxed approach with a Coldplay-inspired theme night, featuring two hours of familiar songs that pair perfectly with sauna sessions and cold plunges.
Reconnect at Self Love Women’s Night
On August 17, Kolm hosts its clothing-optional Self Love Women’s Night, creating a welcoming, judgment-free space where women can relax, recharge, and reconnect with themselves.
Meet New People at Singles Social
Flying solo? Join the Singles Social on Thursday, August 20 at 8:30 PM. Instead of meeting over drinks, guests connect through shared sauna and cold plunge experiences with fun icebreakers designed to make conversations feel natural.
End the Month with Sound Healing & Reflection
Finish August feeling refreshed at Resonance Ritual: Sound + Sage on August 31. This guided sound healing experience combines calming vibrations with sage cleansing to help clear your mind and set positive intentions for the month ahead.
Whether you’re chasing the excitement of After Hours Aufguss, enjoying live music, or taking time to slow down with sound healing, August is full of opportunities to experience everything Kolm Kontrast has to offer.
Spots for these events often fill quickly, so it’s best to reserve your session in advance and secure your place before they’re gone.
