Unveiling the Redesign of Vancouver’s Iconic Granville Street

Celebrating the redesign of Vancouver’s iconic Granville Street and the highly anticipated unveiling of Canada Line, brand.LIVE to bring entertainment and festival atmosphere to the streets! This summer, one of Vancouver’s most popular locations for shopping, trendy boutiques, dining hotspots and clubs, will be reopened to the public. The brand.LIVE team of event production professionals has been selected to help create a celebration for one of Vancouver’s most dynamic addresses and the imminent launch of Canada Line, which will bring state-of-the art transportation solutions to the downtown core. The Granville Showcase is designed to include an array of entertainment features, dance, music and other surprises throughout the day, building excitement for the neighbourhood, its businesses and community who regularly enjoy the bustle of one of downtown’s most vibrant streets. Local retailers and businesses are invited to join in the festivities which will celebrate the completion of the street’s construction, new retail landscape and efficient commuter line. Join in the festivities and see why once again, Vancouver is joining the ranks of world-class cities committed to neighbourhood improvements, state-of-the art transportation and facilities, and dynamic communities. The best place to be!
