Title: Car-Free Day

Date: Sunday, August 16, 2026

Time: 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Overview

Port Moody's Car-Free Day is back, transforming St. Johns Street into a vibrant pedestrian celebration for one glorious Sunday afternoon! The City of Port Moody closes its main street to traffic every August, filling it instead with live musicians, local businesses, delicious food vendors, and family-friendly activities from end to end. It's one of the most fun and festive days on the Port Moody calendar — a chance to explore the heart of the city at a relaxed pace, connect with your neighbours, and celebrate everything that makes this community special. Leave the car at home and enjoy!
