Public Disco Block Party: Downtown

Public Disco closes its 10th season the way it does best, free, all ages, and planted somewhere the city can’t ignore. šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énḵ Square, the North Plaza of the Vancouver Art Gallery, becomes an open-air dance floor for an afternoon of all-vinyl house and techno, curated for the second year by Dairy Free and featuring some of the city’s most trusted selectors. Wide concrete steps, open sightlines, and the constant movement of downtown Vancouver frame a setting that feels both expansive and rooted.

Alongside the music, an expanded record market features local shops, labels, and collectors, joined by a vintage market from Granville Flea, a food market, and family-friendly programming. No tickets required, just the city, the music, and an afternoon that belongs to everyone.
