Vancouver & Sea To Sky Youth Week Events

CityFEST is rolling out its 16th annual youth showcase on May 4, 2019, with more than 6,000 attendees expected. This event is largely run by youth, with the support of a team of youth workers and other caring adults. Local youth perform or compete in music, dance, skateboarding, longboarding, visual arts, and film.

CityFEST exists through a partnership between the City of North Vancouver, North Shore Alliance Church, Youth Unlimited, Flatspot Longboards, North Van Rec & Culture, and other community groups, organizations, agencies, and businesses.

What started out 16 years ago as a BBQ and skateboard competition, CityFEST has grown into the biggest Youth Week event in the Lower Mainland and is the largest youth festival in B.C. CityFEST is a shining example of what can happen when diverse groups partner. Instagram: northvancouvercityfest
