Bruno Mars Meets Fans at Vancouver Gelato Shop

Bruno Mars met fans outside La Casa Gelato in Vancouver on October 20, 2026, during his record-breaking concert run at BC Place. Tianna Angelina shared Instagram Story photos of herself and her friends posing with the singer outside the East Vancouver shop, adding a celebrity encounter to the city's busy week of tour-related activities.

According to Richmond News and Daily Hive, Mars has performed five sold-out shows at BC Place, setting a record for the venue. His Vancouver engagement is part of The Romantic Tour, his first headlining tour in nearly a decade.

Photos shared by Angelina showed Mars wearing sunglasses, checked shoes and a bomber jacket featuring a football helmet. The singer also visited the popular gelato destination while in the city for his performances.

La Casa Gelato, located at 1033 Venables St., is known for offering 238 flavors simultaneously, according to Daily Hive. The family-owned business was founded by Vince and Pina Misceo in 1982 and has developed more than 600 flavors over four decades, including unusual varieties such as kimchi, chocolate bacon, roasted garlic and durian.

The shop's recognition extends beyond its extensive menu. Daily Hive reported that its durian ice cream was included on a list of the world's most iconic ice cream flavors in 2024.

Mars's presence has also extended to Vancouver's public transit system. Richmond News reported that TransLink incorporated the Grammy-winning musician's recorded announcements at Stadium-Chinatown Station on concert days. Daily Hive identified October 14, 16, 17, 20 and 21 as the dates associated with the five-show Vancouver engagement.

Other activities connected to the tour have included a Bruno Mars and Hello Kitty merchandise pop-up at 820 Granville St. The temporary store was scheduled to operate through October 21, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to reporting published by Yahoo News Canada.

The merchandise store attracted fans seeking limited-edition items, with staff managing queues along Granville Street. The report noted that lines inside and outside BC Place for standard tour merchandise had been substantially longer on opening night.

A store employee told Yahoo News Canada that the pop-up offered specialty merchandise during a roughly two-hour daily release window. Heavy sports jerseys with long sleeves had sold out quickly, while other popular items included zip-up hoodies, white Bruno Mars and Hello Kitty T-shirts, and key chains featuring a miniature version of the singer.

The key chains cost $18, while hoodies were priced at more than $180, according to the report. The merchandise store's final scheduled day coincided with the last date of Mars's Vancouver concert run on October 21.

The Romantic Tour began in Las Vegas on April 10, 2026, and includes 40 shows across North America, Europe and the United Kingdom, according to Richmond News. Mars's Vancouver appearances have brought together stadium concerts, limited-edition merchandise and public activities across the city.
