Where do I park?
There is limited on-site parking, but there is street pay parking and two parkades in the business areas surrounding Lonsdale Avenue if you must drive. Allow yourself ample time to find parking. DO NOT PARK IN RESIDENTIAL PERMIT AREAS – this parking is by resident decal only, and unauthorized vehicles will be ticketed and/or towed. Please be kind to our North Vancouver neighbours. Consider sharing your ride with others or using Evo.
Ride your bike to the event and look for the Red Method Cycling tent by Larry’s Market and they will hold your bike for FREE during the event. Providing safe bicycle parking-valet style!

Is the Festival pet-friendly?
We ask that pets are left at home as it’s a busy environment and not ideal for animals.
Do you have a map of the area?
