Car-Free Day will take place on St. Johns Street between Queens and Moody streets on August 16. Everyone is welcome – join us for great food, live music, and family-friendly activities between 12pm and 5pm. There will be more than 120 booths presented by local businesses, artisans, and non-profit groups.
If you’re coming to the celebration, there are lots of ways to travel: use your own power – go on foot or by bike or hop on a kick scooter or skateboard; choose electric – e-scooter or e-bike; or use public transit. If you’re cycling, park your bike for free between 12pm and 5pm with The Bicycle Valet, brought to you by TransLink and operated by BEST (Better Environmentally Sound Transportation). Hop on the City of Port Moody’s Shoreline Shuttle – it’s free to ride! Learn more and view the Car-Free Day route map at portmoody.ca/shuttle.

Vehicle parking will be extremely limited, with some spots available at Westcoast Express Park and Ride (pay parking at 65 Williams Street) and accessible spots available at the former Moody Elementary School site (2717 St Johns Street). If you choose to drive, consider carpooling with friends or neighbours who plan to attend, to reduce the number of cars on the road.
Car-free days take place across the country and aim to inspire people to get out of their cars, interact with each other, and explore alternative modes of transportation.
