This weekend, several neighbourhoods in Vancouver will be going car-free to host some sensational community events.

Can you imagine Main Street in East Vancouver free of cars? How about Denman Street in the West End? Seems impossible, right? Not during the Car Free Vancouver festivals, which kick off this weekend in three neighbourhoods across the city. The festival will transform major streets into a family-friendly and pedestrian-only space with entertainment, food, live performances, and a whole lot more.

The festivals will be taking place along Main Street, Denman Street, and in the Kitsilano neighbourhood. There will also be a celebration on Commercial Drive, but in July. Here’s what’s going down for car free day(s) in Vancouver:

What would the world be like without cars? This weekend, we’ll be given a chance to experience it when Vancouver’s largest car free festival takes over three of the busiest streets in the city to host daylong community parties. These normally car-heavy streets will be shut down on Saturday, June 17 and Sunday, June 18 (Father’s Day!) to make way for festivities featuring food, music, arts and crafts, and more surprises.

Car Free Day is celebrated in four neighbourhoods in the city: Kitsilano, Main Street, Commercial Drive, and the West End. Local community organizers run each festival, which allows for a unique flavor for each event. The Kitsilano, Main Street, and West End festivals will be held this weekend, while the Commercial Drive Car Free Day has been moved to July 9, 2017.

Here’s an idea about what will be happening in each of the neighbourhoods:
