Fair in the Square is a no-cost community fair for people from across Vancouver including our neighbours from the inner city. More than 3,000 people join us every year to connect and celebrate community. At this 12th annual Fair in the Square event, you can expect:

• A free barbecue food, cupcakes, fruit and beverages provided by Vancouver Community College Culinary Arts Program
• Live music and performances by a variety of local artists
• Activities for all ages, including arts and crafts and demonstrations
• A showcase of 30 + non-profit organizations funded by Central City Foundation

The last few years have been challenging for Vancouverites struggling to overcome a devastating opioid crisis and the continued critical shortage of affordable housing in our city. Offering a space of respite, The Fair in the Square works to reconnect and renew our relationships with our neighbours in the Downtown Eastside.
