Vancouver Arts and Music Festival Takes Flight

The Vancouver Arts and Music Festival returns to Esther Short Park this week, with four days of music, art, and community celebration. What began as a post-pandemic vision to bring people together has quickly become one of the region's premier cultural events, drawing tens of thousands of visitors annually. This year, the bar goes as high as possible, with internationally-acclaimed performers gracing the stage. And it's all completely free!
