The Car Free Days of Summer continue with Car Free Day: Burnaby! It’s takes place on Sunday, Aug. 31, noon to 5 p.m. in Burnaby’s Highgate neighbourhood. 

We’ll be there, along with local businesses, food trucks and shoppable vendor booths. A whole part of the street is sectioned off to keep it car free, so transit is the best way to get there. 

Here’s what you need to know:

📅 Date: Sunday, Aug. 31
🕛 Time: noon – 5 p.m.
📍 Location: Edmonds Street, between Kingsway and Mary Avenue.
ℹ More info: burnaby.ca

Make it a passport and trading card stop

Bring your Next Stop: Summer Transit Passport and collect your stamp at the event — or at one of the other local passport stops — for a chance to enter to win a year of free transit. Learn more about the passport and other summer adventures at translink.ca/tours.

Stop by our booth and you’ll be able to pick up your next TransLink trading card (or very first!).

How to get there by transit

Car Free Day: Burnaby takes place on Edmonds Street, between Kingsway and Mary Avenues.

Edmonds Station (Expo Line) is about a 20-minute walk to the Car Free Day location. A free shuttle is operating from Edmonds Station. You can also ride 119 Kingsway or 133 Edmonds Station/Holdom Station buses to Kingsway and Edmonds Street. 

Pro tip: transit is just a one-zone fare all day on weekends/holidays. You can tap to pay an adult cash fare using a contactless credit or debit card. Bringing the whole crew? Remember, kids under 12 ride transit for free every day, so make it a family outing!

How to get there by cycling

Ride your bike to Car Free Day: Burnaby! It’s easily accessible via the Highland Park Line Trail and BC Parkway. 

Once you’re there, park your bike at the free Bike Valet, which is open 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. A bike valet is like a coat check, but for your bike. It also accepts e-bikes, strollers, and scooters.
