Vancouver Mural Festival Tour

The Vancouver Mural Festival launched this summer, with walking tours and live music all around the Mount Pleasant, Main Street, and False Creek Flats area. Over 40 murals popped up, splashing the neighbourhood with colour and providing many priceless photo ops. If you missed the tour on opening weekend, there’s another coming up on Saturday.

“This tour explores the majority of the collection of mural sites from the top of Main & 12th to the industrial zone. Highlights include Hootsuite’s wrap-around by Scott Sueme (largest mural of the festival), the German duo LOW BROS mural on digital communication, and the ambitious collection of murals at the Arts Factory and Fontile Warehouse. We’ll get you connected to the artists’ vision, medium and creative process, and talk about the power of public art in placemaking and community building.”
