Celebrate Vancouver’s 125th birthday with a (free!) outdoor extravaganza in Stanley Park. Rock out to Mother Mother, The New Pornographers, Said the Whale, or Hey Ocean!; join a volleyball tournament; or listen to Coast Salish storytellers. A free shuttle bus from Waterfront Station to the festival will run daily from 11am to 11pm, and a free, secure bicycle compound at Brockton Point will be available for eco-minded partygoers. You’ve come a long way, little Granville town. Brockton Point in Stanley Park, July 8 to 10.
Park your jalopies and roadsters at home; Car Free Day is taking over Vancouver neighbourhoods and blocking traffic in the name of the city's biggest block party. Commercial Drive, Kits, Main Street, and the West End flood the streets with live music, street hockey, movie tents, half-pipes, art markets, and more for thousands of happy peds and cyclists to explore. Afterwards, hit up The Waldorf for the official wrap party.
On June 4, the West End joins already-opened Trout Lake, Kits, and Main Street for the summer season. Support food networks that sustain land, communities, and homes, and learn more about the agricultural issues facing us as you hunt and gather fresh food.
