Where to go. What to do.
Uptown Live covers more than six full city blocks in the Uptown business district of New Westminster around Sixth Avenue and Sixth Street. There is no shortage of things to do and areas to explore while circulating through the event site.
You can check out live music on multiple sound stages, enjoy a sampling from more than 25 yummy food trucks and experience a host of interactive activities and experiential zones. If you wish to take a break, sit down and enjoy a cold one at the licensed service area featuring a wide variety of craft beers, fine wines and specialty beverages.
More than 100 artisan exhibitors and sponsor booths will be set up around the Uptown Live festival site so there is lots to take in and lots to enjoy and experience. Have fun!
Don’t’ forget to stop by and check out the many local artisan vendors set up throughout the event site. The vendor booths will be showcasing a wide variety of local, hand-made products including art, jewelry, clothing, crafts and specialty food items.
Uptown Live is first and foremost a live music event. Catch live performances on one of our many sound stages. Uptown Live has a well-earned reputation for showcasing the best, emerging young artists in the province. Check the stage schedules and take it all in.
Who doesn’t like street food? We have a fantastic selection of the best Vancouver area food trucks. Grilled cheese, burgers, hot dogs, of course, but we also offer a taste of many cultures sure to please your palette. Come hungry and enjoy!
