Can an unloved space become something fun and friendly? Well, people are going to try: VPSN Backyard BBQ Laneway Living Room.
Find out on Saturday. In the alley, north of Cordova, west of Cambie. Noon to 9 pm.
This summer the Vancouver Public Space Network, with a grant from VIVA Vancouver is transforming two laneways (for one day each) into fun and friendly spaces using upcycled furniture, flea market finds, and pallets. After having hosted an outrageously successful event in East Van, Gastown is the second neighbourhood up! Join us for a casual Backyard BBQ – a laneway activation taking place in the diagonal alleyway connecting Cambie and Cordova Streets on Saturday, August 26th. This activation will use some creatively upcycled materials to turn an urban space into the suburban dream. Think grilled food, lawn games, music, and maybe even a rogue pink flamingo.
Here’s the BEFORE photo.
