Two Car Free Days are happening this Sunday, July 8th. First up is:
Car Free Day On Commercial Drive: Noon – 7:00 pm
The street festival which stretches 15 blocks along Commercial Drive will have at least 3 stages set up for entertainment. Local artisans will be on hand, there will be activities for all ages and of course great food. If you hadn’t heard, Car Free started on The Drive, so they have this event nailed down and will be continuing to promote car free spaces and green living within the community. Note, buses will be rerouted for the day along Commercial Drive, but there will be lots of easy access to the event by bus and Skytrain. If you are travelling by bike and wish to store it while you wander, BEST Bike Valet will be on hand. Event kicks off at Noon and goes till 7:00 pm.
Car Free Day On Commercial Street Village: Noon – 4:30 pm
The local businesses that comprise the 3400 – 3500 block Commercial Street are hosting a Mini Car Free Day this Sunday alongside the event on Commercial Drive. They have lots of fun stuff lined up including chainsaw carving by Jesse Toso of Toso Wood Gallery, live music, kids t-shirt giveaway, giant Genga game, street art, rummage sale, chocolate tasting, bike repair as well as an electric bike demo and a whole lot more. They are asking those that attend to help make this a zero waste event. This is a first time event for this group, so they are running a shorter event from Noon – 4:30 pm. Stop by and support some great local businesses tucked away on Commercial Street.
