27 Junio 2024 - 9:45AM
The best Canada Day street party in Metro Vancouver returns for a
third edition, as StreetFest on Central, with presenting partner
Concord Pacific, is set to rock Metrotown on July 1, with
headlining musical act Dear Rouge.
“StreetFest on Central gets bigger and better each year and the
festival is quickly earning a reputation as one of the best ways to
celebrate Canada Day in Metro Vancouver,” said Mayor Mike Hurley.
“We’re so thrilled to be welcoming back Dear Rouge as our headliner
this year, 10 years after they helped kick off Burnaby’s first
Canada Day concert at Swangard Stadium.”
StreetFest on Central will kick off at 6:30 pm, featuring food
trucks, family-friendly activities, live performances and a
spectacular fireworks finale. The celebration is free to
attend.
Many Canadian musical acts will take the mainstage at Central
Park during StreetFest, including the 2016 Juno for Breakthrough
Group of the Year Dear Rouge. The duo of Drew and
Danielle McTaggart has opened for artists like Phantogram, Arkells,
Our Lady Peace, and Lights, wowing crowds on major festival stages
from coast to coast with their energetic and dynamic live
performances.
The Juno Award and Polaris Prize-nominated Toronto R&B/Soul
singer Tanika Charles will also perform on the
mainstage. Renowned for her high energy live performances, Tanika
Charles is known as one of the best kept secrets in soul music.
The celebration will cap off with a fireworks show at 10:15
pm.
Road closures will be in effect along Patterson Avenue as well
as Central Boulevard and Beresford Street (between Patterson and
Willingdon avenues) to ensure maximum space for visitors.
With Metrotown and Patterson SkyTrain stations nearby, there are
plenty of ways to get to the festival. Visitors are encouraged to
take transit, cycle or walk, and please leave pets at home. A bike
valet will be available at the tennis courts at Patterson and
Mayberry. For attendees with a SPARC pass, a drop-off and pick up
area will be located on Olive Avenue, accessed off Kingsway.

While the StreetFest on Central is set for the evening, Canada
Day festivities will be going all day in Burnaby with beloved
community events set to return to the Burnaby Village Museum and
