While the program is permanent, it should be noted that it will stay a seasonal thing. The plazas will open on June 15th and run the entire summer, ending on October 16th. During that time, those of legal drinking age can open a wobbly pop or two between the hours of 11AM and 9PM.

For those looking for even more options, Parks Vancouver has also brought back public drinking in parks around the city for the summer as well. All told, you’ve now got dozens of options for public drinking in Vancouver, and it’s getting us seriously excited for weekends this summer!
