Get ready to party at the Shipyards one last time before summer’s over, because the largest free event of the year is back next month, and you won’t want to miss it! Though it’s technically happening on the first official day of fall this year – we say that the annual Shipyards Festival is the ideal summer sendoff, complete with live music, local eats and drinks, and a full day of family fun.

Whether you want to check out the multi-stage performances, chill at the site-wide beer garden, or venture to Carrie Cates for the newly added Car Free Day North Vancouver – you’ll have plenty of options here (and even more food trucks to choose from).
