Celebrate a Greener and Happier City at Car Free Days Vancouver

Car Free Days Vancouver is a lively festival where busy streets become open for everyone — no cars, just people. Local artists, businesses, vendors, and residents come together to make the city feel more vibrant and connected.

The idea is simple: turn parts of the city into public spaces so people can walk, cycle, relax, chat, and enjoy performances without traffic. It celebrates creativity, community, and caring for the environment.

When and Where It Happens

This summer’s festival has two big days:

• Commercial Drive (from Grandview to 1st) on Saturday, September 6
• Main Street (between 10th and 30th Ave) on Sunday, September 14 

Both events run from 12 PM to 7 PM. Rain or shine, the festival goes on.

What to Expect

Local vendors selling great crafts, food, and unique goods.

Performers and artists making the atmosphere creative and fun.

Entertainment stages where music, dance, or other shows happen.

A digital map to help you find your way around.

To help everyone, the festival encourages visitors to walk, cycle, car-share, or use public transit instead of driving a car. This helps reduce traffic and makes the event more peaceful and eco-friendly.

African Fair Trade Society invites all to visit this festive. Bring your friends, family, neighbours. Feel the music, see the art, enjoy the food, and be part of a community coming together for good. Step outside, explore the city without cars, and embrace something different and wonderful.

Why It Matters

Car Free Days Vancouver isn’t just fun — it reminds us how cities can feel when people take priority over cars. It supports local businesses, boosts creativity, helps the planet, and builds community. When we share the streets, we share joy.
