Capilano Mall Foodie Fest
Capilano Foodie Fest is an annual affair at Capilano Mall in North Vancouver. As the name of the festival suggests, the event is a weekend full of tasty food. If you love delicious treats, discovering new dishes and events with free admission, this is a festival you won’t want to miss, especially if you live on the North Shore.
The fourth edition of Capilano Foodie Fest takes place on the Saturday and Sunday of the Father’s Day Weekend in 2024. It runs from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm on both June 15th and 16th this year.
The family-friendly event takes place outdoors in the mall’s parking lot. It’s completely free to attend, so you just have to pay for whatever food you want to try.
The family-friendly event takes place outdoors in the mall’s parking lot (by the Kin’s Farm Market entrance). Capilano Mall Foodie Fest is completely free to attend, so you just have to pay for whatever food you want to try. Grab the kids to enjoy complimentary face painting. Next, head over to the Balloon twister.
One highlight of the festival is The Flavour Lab. It’s a combination of food and science. Food scientists use liquid nitrogen to freeze toppings on top of ice cream. It’s a fascinating experience for all ages!
At the event there is a Good Eats Market with local artisanal food vendors. This year they have a new line-up of food trucks offering savory snacks and sweet treats. The event’s PB & Jam zone features live music throughout the weekend. Scheduled performers are Scott Crompton on the Saturday and Jada Leroux on the Sunday.

North Shore Bike Park
The North Shore Bike Park is the largest indoor bike park in British Columbia. The attraction opened inside Capilano Mall in 2023. It took over the old Sears department store, at the corner of Hamilton Avenue and Marine Drive. The attraction is open daily from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, so even when the mall is closed at night.
The bike park covers more than 60,000 square feet. It’s a fun place to be, even if you don’t actually ride a bike. Bicycles and scooters are available to rent, as are helmets, which are mandatory. You can also rent knee and elbow pads.
The North Shore Bike Park offers many different tracks. The easiest ones are marked green, with light blue being a little more challenging. Darker blue tracks are difficult and black ones are for the best, most advanced riders. There’s something for all ages and skill levels to enjoy.
For more details about the attraction, see the mall’s North Shore Bike Park page.
