Granville Island



Land ho! Check out Granville Island when you are visiting Vancouver! You won't be able to resist its' personal charm and energy. From theatres to markets, to top bars and restaurants, there is something for everyone. The island is located on the picturesque waterfront of False Creek and its' gritty, industrial past has completely changed into an artistic and magnetic destination for Vancouverites and visitors.

The island is currently attracting more than 10-million people a year and believe us! they are not coming to see the cement trucks that still discreetly rumble through the entry gate of the only remaining cement factory in the city core. The island as a destination not only works, it thrives with energy!

Since its redevelopment in the 1970's, Granville island has maintained a healthy community of craft studios, including a glassblowing studio, a printmaking shop, a master shoemaker, various jewelers, a luthier and the B.C. Potter's Guild. A weekly public farmer's market has also been ongoing since the island's redevelopment.

Check out the Public Farmer's Market here!
