A free multicultural festival with live music, dance, and food is coming to North Vancouver this weekend

Who’s ready to travel to a new place without setting foot on a plane? Festivibe is a free-to-enter festival bringing live music, dance, and food from across the globe to North Vancouver, and you won’t want to miss it.

Set to take place this weekend, the all-day multicultural celebration will feature an international food market, a vibrant beer garden on Cates Deck, and a free toddler play area inside The Pipe Shop. Here, there will be an array of exciting activities hosted by local kids’ businesses, including complimentary Whildo arts and crafts for all ages.

For those looking for even more hands-on activities, there will be a Kids Zone with bouncy castles, a giant obstacle course, a dual-lane slide, face painting, and balloon twisting. Just note that these require a separate Kids Zone activity pass, priced at $4.68 for a single pass and $23.70 for unlimited access.
