Car-Free Commercial Drive Festival
Noon to 6 pm
Venables to First Avenue
It's time again for the Mother of All Street Parties, the one that started it all!
In 2007, the Car-Free Commercial Drive Festival gave around 35,000 people a glimpse of urban paradise --TWICE! Even in the pouring rain, people came out to dance in the streets, at this glorious free-for- all street party thrown BY the people of East Van, FOR the people of East Van. This year we will only be doing one Fest, on Car-Free Vancouver Day (June 15) -- but it's going to be a goodie.
This landmark grass-roots phenomenon features roving artists and performers of all flavours, the Healing Garden, Commercial Drive Merchant Market, organization info tables, Special Kidzone, the Cooperative Way, street hockey, tons of babies and dogs, more crazy bikes than you can shake a stick at, and general merry mayhem. Three perfomance stages include the Grandview Live Stage boasting an eclectic mix of local performers; Tribal Harmonix dj dance stage, chill zone by Burn BC (local Burning Man afficionados), Libra Room live stage; and a spokenword stage dishing up spokenword, storytelling, slam poetry and audience activation.
Please come out and help us party like only East Van can! E-mail: drivefest@carfreevancouver.org
