Granville Promenade, presented by the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association (DVBIA), transforms the two blocks between Smithe and Helmcken streets into a pedestrian-only party.
There is something for everyone during the finale all-ages event, including a Smithe stage curated by Kentya Kurban showcasing a variety of local music talent. There will also be the Helmcken Stage: Public Disco x Bye Felicia featuring some of the city’s top DJs, dancers, and drag artists.

Bring your appetite as there will be food trucks on-site serving up delicious dishes as well as many restaurants in the Granville Entertainment District to choose from.
Visitors will also be treated to live painters, a vendor market curated by Tongue Market, street circus performers, and all-ages activities for the whole family to enjoy.
While you’re there, look up to see the brand new mural high above 1062 Granville Street, created in collaboration by Rachel Wada and SILOH and commissioned by Sapporo and DVBIA for the fest.
