Italian Day on The Drive is a vibrant cultural street festival celebrating Italian culture, heritage and community with over 150 street participants, comprised of partners, merchants, vendors and community organizations – and an estimated 300,000+ attendees of all ages and cultures. Commercial Drive (The Drive), home to Little Italy, is the designated location for the annual festival where the street is transformed into a lively 14 block festa. Since Italian Day’s return in 2010, the event today represents the largest one day cultural street festival in Vancouver – and perhaps in Canada. A festive community embrace, The Drive comes alive in green, white and red with piazza style animated zones, live music, food, patios, fashion, retail vendors, vehicles, activities, children’s zones and more.
Car Free Day celebrates the vibrancy of Vancouver’s diverse neighborhoods by organizing a multi-site annual arts and culture festival that reclaims traffic thoroughfares as community focused public spaces. This allows artists, local residents, performers, artisans, non-profits, and businesses to interact, engage, and re-imagine spaces normally reserved for vehicle traffic. We continue to be a green and grassroots effort, directed and organized by the local residents in each Car Free Day neighborhood. This year the 11th Annual West End Car Free Day will take place on June 16, on Denman between Robson St. and Beach Ave.

West Coast Beach Volleyball Society (WeCoBeVo) was born from a shared desire across the beach volleyball community to create a new path for youth in Western Canada to play and train, and have an equal chance to dream about representing Canada on the international
stage. At present, the only option is for athletes (of all ages) to move to Toronto to do so. The roots of our goals has led WeCoBeVo to becoming a community connector, a change instigator, and a fundraising entity that provides unique events that bring together all
facets of the volleyball community.
Funds raised are currently going towards: (1) helping support developing athletes in Western Canada to compete nationally and internationally; (2) enhancing Western Canada’s reputation as a competitive volleyball market that is developing future leaders in the sport; (3) developing a community spirit such that young athletes know they are supported through encouragement, development and financial opportunities as possible; (4) donations to
Jumpstart Charities, whose sole focus is to remove financial barriers for kids to participate in and learn from sport.
