Vancouver’s Best Places, Miss 604, Tourism Vancouver, Vancouver Is Awesome, North Shore News, 604 Now, and AM 1470 all have really well written and detailed over views of what to expect for the Shipyards Festival this year.

Hi there, We just noticed that your image you are using is actually of the Shipyards Friday Night Market and not the Shipyards Festival (Called Shipped last year).
The Shipyards Friday Night Market’s last night of the season is this Friday, Sept 27th from 5-10pm. PS. Thanks for posting our photo about our market, though!
