Events for October 19 - September 10, 2023

In 2023 the event is a bit smaller than pre-pandemic and runs between 10th Avenue and King Edward. In a typical year there are live bands, street performers and market vendors at the event. Mini beer gardens, food trucks, extended restaurant patios are there too. Of all of Vancouver’s various Car Free Day Festivals, the Main Street event is usually the largest. The street party is typically about 20 blocks long and features performances on over a dozen stages. This year, however, it runs for just 15 blocks.

Join us for the Mount Pleasant Community Mural on October 19 at 10:00 AM, located at 729 East Broadway. This paint-by-numbers mural event is a fun way to bring out your inner artist as we petition for a dedicated dog park in Mount Pleasant. Paint will be provided. Just wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy! Weather-dependent. Alternate date: October 26
