Love taking advantage of every summer street festival you can? Vancouver is about to get three more exciting block parties, courtesy of Mount Pleasant Business BIA’s Just Off Main block party series. Best of all? Each event is completely free to attend!
Each block party will take place at a different location, with its own exciting live performances, groovy tunes, and local brews and eats.
The series kicks off on Sunday, July 23rd from 11 am to 5 pm at the 100 block of East 11th Avenue (164 East 11th Avenue), featuring two-piece bands and solo performers, local artisan vendors, and more.
