More than 300,000 people are expected to visit Commercial Drive between noon and 8 p.m. on Sunday (June 9) for Italian Day. Here are five things to keep in mind:

No Vehicles
Commercial Drive will be off-limits to all motorized transport along 14 blocks between Venables Street and the Grandview Cut.

Don’t Bring Dogs
The huge crowds and warm weather are not ideal for canines, so attendees are advised to leave pets at home.

Bike Parking
Cyclists can make use of an on-site bicycle valet service.

Take Transit
Anyone coming via SkyTrain should disembark at Commercial–Broadway Station. Check translink.ca/ for changes to bus service.

Support Youths
Italian Day organizers are collecting donations for the East End Boys and Girls Club. Give generously.
