Event Description

Join the Village on Car Free Day!

Join the party at the biggest VILLAGE ever built by Village Vancouver, on Sunday June 17 at the intersection of 13th Avenue and Main Street.

Powered by solar energy and fed by an urban garden, we'll be raising chickens, showing off bees, repairing bicycles, demonstrating right livelihood and green building technology, and lounging in our library of sustainability while drinking Fair Trade coffee and tea and homemade lemonade.

Join the nearly block-long Village and help us for an hour or two to demonstrate a better way of life.
