Argyle Avenue between 14th Street and 16th Street will be closed to all vehicle traffic from Saturday, July 25 to Wednesday, August 12 at 4 p.m.
According to the news release, the closure will accommodate the Harmony Arts Festival, running July 31 to August 9, 2026, along West Vancouver’s waterfront, including set-up and take-down activities before and after the event. Cyclists are required to dismount and walk through the festival site or may detour via Bellevue Avenue.
The festival will feature live music, culinary experiences, art markets and exhibitions, and family activities. Parking in the area is in high demand during the summer, and the festival is accessible by public transit and by bike via the Spirit Trail, the news release noted. Visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and consider travelling by transit, bike, or on foot where possible.
Those who choose to drive are advised to park nearby and walk to the festival, use designated public parking areas, avoid blocking driveways or access points, and obey posted signage to reduce traffic and parking pressure in nearby neighbourhoods.
Visitors who park at Ambleside Park can receive a 90-minute free parking period by starting a PayByPhone session and entering their licence plate. Paid parking at a rate of $2.50 per hour is required beyond the 90-minute period.
