Looking for something to do with Dad next weekend? Leave the car at home and check out the four separate Car-Free Day festivals that are happening in neighborhoods throughout the city on Father’s Day.
So what exactly is Car-Free Day? Major streets in four separate neighborhoods will be closed to traffic and filled with live music, vendors selling food and wares and – of course – pedestrians. Think of it as an outdoor community party staged across the city with thousands of your closest friends.

Dining at Kitsilano’s Refuel

The best neighbourhood restaurants do more than just feed the community, they simultaneously embody and compliment their neighbourhood, sharing its attitudes and ethics and reflecting those philosophies in the food they serve.
Refuel, located in the heart of Kitsilano’s W 4th Avenue shopping district, just south of Kits Beach, is one of Vancouver’s best neighbourhood restaurants for exactly that reason. Like Kits itself, Refuel is relaxed yet hip, able to cater to everyone—romantic couples, groups of friends, families—and brings a truly green-living sensibility to the table: Refuel’s casual Northwest cuisine is all about the organic and seasonal, using locally-sourced ingredients wherever possible and employing a “nose to tail” philosophy that makes creative use of as much of their proteins as they can.
