2026 Granville Street Pedestrian Zone
The Granville Street Pedestrian Zone is now extended until September 7, 2026, giving everyone even more time to experience the energy of downtown Vancouver.

With expanded patios, public art, live entertainment, and plenty of room to connect, discover, and celebrate, there’s no better time to experience Granville.
What to expect
Throughout the Pedestrian Zone, specially themed blocks will come alive with interactive experiences, including selfie stations, games, giant light installations, and other exciting activations. Visitors can enjoy 28 expanded patios for dining and gathering, additional public seating, diverse market vendors, and local food and beverage offerings.
