Expect food trucks and local vendors galore at this new Vancouver street festival
We love summer Saturdays spent pottering through stalls that showcase the creations of local artists, bakers, and creatives while stopping to sample tasty eats provided by funky food trucks and neighbourhood food makers.
That’s exactly what’s on offer in Vancouver’s River District on Saturday, August 27, with the first annual Riverside Street Vibe Festival.
Organized by Wesgroup Properties — which is thrilled to bring this free community event to the 130-acre master-planned River District community on the banks of the Fraser River — the Riverside Street Vibe Festival will bring local vendors, food trucks, live music, a beer garden, and fun activities to the vibrant neighbourhood.
