False Creek Vancouver
The Island is always bustling with
activities, and there are events scheduled in each month of the
calendar. And many won't cost you a penny - Granville Island is
Vancouver's best place to catch a free show. The most popular and
well-known events offered on the Island include the Vancouver
Writers & Readers Festival, held in October, and the Vancouver
International Comedy Festival in July.

witness art in the making, and discover a unique selection of items you can't
find anywhere else in the city.
Enjoy a cool spray
at the Kid's Water Park or just sit back, relax, and soak up the
atmosphere on one of Granville Island's many great patios.
Sift through the
aromas of fresh food, the wonderful sounds of buskers, or immerse
yourself in the unrivalled excitement of live theatre.

intertwined wonders of culture, food, history and fun - all smack
dab in the middle of the city.
A remarkable place
in an extraordinary setting.
Granville Island's unique location gives it a distinct advantage
when it comes to supporting activities and recreation. Because it
lies at the heart of the city and is also surrounded by water, the
Island can sustain many distinct pursuits, from boat tours, to city
tours, to water activities, to kids programs. And even if you're not
quite the active type, watching everyone else do their thing can be
just as fun. Granville Island manages to offer something different
for everyone. It's the Island way.
