Khatsahlano Street Party

The Khatsahlano Street Party is a giant music and arts festival that takes place on West 4th Avenue in Vancouver’s Kitsilano district in July.

In 2026 the event happens on July 11th (which is about a week later than last year). Last year, it was the same weekend as the Taiwanese Canadian Cultural Festival and the Canada Day Weekend Boat Party. In 2026 the Khatsahlano Street Party is on the same weekend as the Carnaval del Sol Latin festival in Vancouver and Harrison Festival of the Arts in the Fraser Valley. Both of those are also highly recommended.

See Vancouver’s July Calendar of Events to learn about what else is happening in the Lower Mainland around the same time. Continue reading for details about the Khatsahlano Street Party.

Khatsahlano Street Party in Kitsilano

The street party features free concerts by BC-based bands, artisan products for sale, and many attendees. There are usually market stalls, food vendors, family-friendly activities and beer gardens for adults.

As many as 200,000 people attend the Khatsahlano Street Party in years with good weather, which makes it one of the largest annual events in the region.

Where and When

In 2026, the street party happens on Saturday, July 11th. As last year, it starts at 11:00 am and runs until around 9:00 pm. As always, the festivities take place along West 4th Avenue, between Burrard Street and Macdonald Street.

TIP #1: With tens of thousands of people attending, parking in the area can be a serious challenge. Take public transit if you can, and avoid the immediate vicinity with your car.

TIP #2: There is usually a bicycle valet service on site and, being just a few blocks from the water and the Burrard Street Bridge, walking and cycling access via the False Creek Seawall is fairly convenient. You can access the free bike valet on Cypress and West 4th or on Larch and West 5th.

What to Expect at Khatsahlano

The Khatsahlano Street Party features multiple stages with over 50 local performing artists as well as market vendors, street performers, food trucks and an artisan market. Essentially, it’s a massive street party, much like Car Free Day events or Greek Day on Broadway, which are at other times in the summer. Khatsahlano has more and larger concerts, however.

At the day-long Khatsahlano event, there are also typically yoga sessions, an urban obstacle course, a tea garden, arts-and-crafts stations, selfie booths, beer gardens, pie-eating contests, and more.
