Events in the Village
Dancing in the Street!
We are very excited to add this new event to our Village roster as part of our Evenings in Edgemont summer concert series. It was only natural that we add an actual evening of dance; we have been watching you tapping your toes and dancing with your children for several years now, so we know you have been waiting for this evening—and that you just needed a little encouragement!
We have the band (Backbeat), you have the feet, so come and join us Friday, July 24th for our first ever family street dance. There will be spot dances, prizes galore, a fabulous barbecue from Windsor Meats and Cobs Bread, cotton candy, balloons, and even dance instruction for the ‘not-so-sure-of-foot.’ A guaranteed good time for everyone!
So, grab your partner, bring your neighbours, your kids, your sense of humour and, if you have it, your sense of rhythm. And remember, it’s a dance!
Like all our events, this one is brought to you by the Edgemont Village Business & Professional Association, the District of North Vancouver and the North Vancouver Recreation Commission and the following Edgemont Village merchant sponsors who have helped to defray the cost of this event: BMO, Zig Zag, and Cobs Bread.

Seasonal Events
Harvest Festival This free, village-wide street fair sees the community packed with 5000 attendees who come to enjoy a variety of family-friendly, all-day events. From bands on the main stage, to Irish dancers, a ventriloquist, or The Extreme bike show with Dangerous Dan — there’s something for everyone.
Christmas in The Village Come December, Edgemont Village transforms into a winter wonderland. Each Christmas, we decorate our distinctive, red lamp standards to resemble giant candy canes and light the trees on the street corners and boulevards. Carolers line the streets, Santa makes an annual stop for a day of photos with kids (and pets!) and community contests add to the buzz.
Evenings in Edgemont As surely as summer arrives, so does live music come to Edgemont Village on Friday nights throughout July and August. This joint initiative with the Parks and Recreation Commission has been a resounding success from its first note 9 summers ago. Here, in our extremely beautiful natural setting, we are able to present the sounds of 8 diverse, professional bands for families to enjoy while spending time with their friends and neighbours right in the heart of the village. Attendance at these evenings has grown to average 1200 to 1500 or more; the series finale in August, at which we share the evening with Public Dreams Society and the Wild Lights festival, has attracted attendees of up to 5000.
