The weekend
Two signature events, one joyful weekend
Come for the colour throw and DJs on Saturday. Return Sunday for a hand-pulled parade float, live bands, kids' activities, and a festive village along the foreshore — inspired by celebrations that draw huge crowds worldwide, reimagined for Vancouver as a welcoming public gathering.
Saturday, July 25, 2026 · Day 1
Festival of Colours
DJ sets, colour stations, street-food vibes, and room to dance — wear white if you want the full glow-up.
Sunday, July 26, 2026 · Day 2
Chariot Fest
A colourful parade with live percussion, cultural performances, and a family zone — then stay for food trucks and sunset by the water.
