Argyle Avenue closed July 31 to August 9 for Harmony Arts Festival

A large crowd gathers on the waterfront, enjoying a summer evening under the setting sun.  The scene is framed by a row of apartment buildings and lush green trees.  The sun casts a warm glow over the water, creating a sense of peace and tranquility.  A boardwalk extends into the water, and several white tents are set up on the shore, suggesting a festival or event.  The scene is alive with laughter and conversation, creating a vibrant and festive atmosphere.

The Harmony Arts Festival is back from July 31 to August 9, 2026! Join us along West Vancouver’s waterfront for live music, culinary experiences, art markets and exhibitions, and activities for the whole family.

Argyle Avenue, between 14th Street and 16th Street, will be closed to all vehicle traffic from Saturday, July 25 to Wednesday, August 12 at 4 p.m. to accommodate the Harmony Arts Festival. This includes set-up and take-down activities before and after the festival. Cyclists are required to dismount and walk through the festival site or may detour via Bellevue Avenue.

During the summer, parking in the area is in high demand. The Harmony Arts Festival is easily accessible by public transit and by bike via the Spirit Trail. We encourage visitors to plan ahead, and consider travelling by transit, bike, or walking where possible.

If you plan to drive, consider parking nearby and walking to the festival. To reduce traffic and parking pressure in nearby neighbourhoods, please use designated public parking areas, avoid blocking driveways, or access points, and obey posted signage.
