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.
Throughout the summer, the Granville Entertainment District will be a vibrant, people-first public space where locals and visitors can stroll, gather, dine, shop, and explore. 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. Granville businesses will also host a dynamic lineup of activations, and special events throughout the summer, creating a vibrant atmosphere from day to night.
