Free All Vinyl Block Party in Downtown Vancouver
Public Disco will close out its 2026 Summer Block Parties with a free, all-ages celebration on August 29th with a thoughtfully curated line up of DJs playing only vinyl, a record market, pop-up bars, vintage market, food vendors, and kids’ activities.
We recommend starting your day at the free Port Day concerts and celebrations at Canada Place then ending your evening at this free block party just up Hornby. It would make for a pretty epic Saturday in Vancouver!

- Location: šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énḵ Square (formerly Vancouver Art Gallery North) at West Georgia and Hornby in downtown Vancouver

“This summer has shown us, again, what happens when you open up public space and fill it with music,” says Nickolas Collinet, Executive Director of Public Disco Society. “We’re closing out the season the way we started it: free, all ages, and built around community.”
The lineup is curated by Dairy Free, a dig-savvy DJ known for off-kilter tech house, techno, and bass selections. The day’s programming includes Pacific Coliseum (aka Teen Daze), a producer and DJ from Chilliwack, BC, known for dreamy, balearic house music; AWood, a groove-driven house and techno DJ marking their first solo vinyl release with this set; Anika, whose club-centred sound draws on bossa nova, soul, jazz, and disco; and Serena S b2b Ian Prentice, a Vancouver back-to-back set pairing Serena S’s experimental, genre-spanning selections with Ian Prentice’s storytelling journey through disco, italo-disco, techno, synth pop, and house.
Attendees can browse a record market featuring local shops, labels and collectors, including Painted Lady, Dandelion Records, Cool Underground Music, Bald Society, Not Even Down, Paranoise, Tacophonica and Weirdos Inc. Additionally, the block party will showcase a vintage and thrift market curated by Granville Flea, featuring Doomed Decade, Ajs Curated, The Gates BC, Variety Bin, Got It For Cheap, Shoot First Vintage, Newtown Vintage, Shop Woven, Convivial, Avantini.Shop, and Thrift2go.
Food vendors on-site include Chai Wagon, Taco Tigre, Yo Bones, Japadog, and Magical Ring Donuts. The block party will be fully licensed offering both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages at the Public Disco bar. Families can enjoy dedicated kids’ programming along with a Play Zone.
