Let’s meet at the market at the food court area (outside or inside depending on the weather) with other co-creators from Vancouver!
Granville Island Public Market – Located on the south shore of False Creek, under the Granville Street Bridge Web site www.granville-island.net.
Almost a city within a city, Granville Island is a good place to browse away a morning, an afternoon, or a whole day. You can wander through a busy public market jammed with food stalls, shop for crafts, pick up some fresh seafood, enjoy a great dinner, watch the latest theater performance, rent a yacht, stroll along the waterfront, or simply run through the sprinkler on a hot summer day; it’s all there and more. If you only have a short period of time, make sure you spend at least part of it in the Granville Island Public Market, one of the best all-around markets in North America.
Once a declining industrial site, Granville Island started transforming in the late 1970s when the government encouraged new, people-friendly developments. Maintaining its original industrial look, the former warehouses and factories now house galleries, artist studios, restaurants, and theaters; the cement plant on the waterfront is the only industrial tenant left. Access to Granville Island is by Aquabus from the West End, Yaletown, or Kitsilano (the Aquabus drops you at the public market) or by foot, bike, or car across the bridge at Anderson Street (access from W. 2nd Ave.).
