BC Place revs up for Vancouver Pride with FREE patio party next week

The biggest Pride event in the city’s calendar is coming up fast, and BC Place is ready to help all the attendees stay refreshed during the festivities.

Pride Pit Stop, happening at the stadium’s Gate E on Sunday, August 6, is a day-long celebration with a beer garden, live entertainment, and more.

No tickets are required for the free event, and it’s also a perfect way to keep the fun going before, during and after the annual Vancouver Pride Parade, which will follow a new route to the festival’s new location in False Creek.
