The Grey Cup Festival is centred around downtown Vancouver and includes free and ticketed events, family-friendly activities, and celebrations of music, culture, and – of course – football!

The following day will see the opening of the Indigenous Marketplace, Save-On Foods Street Festival, Telus Family Zone, WestJet Ultimate CFL Experience, and more – all free!
Ticketed highlights include the legendary Coors Light Team Party HQ, the star-studded CFLAA Legends Luncheon, and the Saturday Night Concert with the Sam Roberts Band with special guests The Trews.
