Car-Free Vancouver DayWelcome to the future of our City!
Commercial Drive: Noon to 6pm On Sunday June 15th (Fathers Day), come experience Car-Free Vancouver Day – featuring FOUR simultaneous Community Festivals, each with its own unique flavour and style. We know that that less cars means more community, and more community means less cars. As the price of gas soars, urban congestion increases, and air quality declines, smart cities around the world are beginning to move away from car-dependency. Vancouver's time is fast approaching. We are taking this one day to visualize our city's future, free of cars! This massive event is 100% volunteer produced and organized. It's YOUR party. So get involved! Let's reclaim our city by dancing in the streets. For more info, get in touch now! info@carfreevancouver.org STREET CLOSURES
COMMERCIAL DRIVE: no parking or driving on Commercial Drive from Venables to First Ave, 10am to 8pm |

We need you to help make the party and keep out the cars. A minumum two-hour volunteer shift gets you fed and treated like a rockstar, and invited to the fantastic Work Less Party VOLUNTEER AFTERPARTY.
