Granville Island

"Granville Island is a peninsula and shopping district located across False Creek near Downtown Vancouver. The Public Market is open 7 days a week from 9am until 6pm. In the 1970’s, Granville Island began its transformation from an industrial wasteland to a charming island which is now the home to more than 50 independent food purveyors and many of Canada’s best artists. Granville Island has many cultural venues and hosts numerous performing arts and cultural festivals year-round."

"Granville Island is a really fun and bustling part of Vancouver, mostly known for its big market where you can find tons of fresh products, but also a lot of cool local shops. You can easily spend hours shopping here! It also offers really nice views of Downtown Vancouver, Burrard Bridge and Granville Bridge. "

"Granville Island definitely thrives in the summer, with lots of artists opening up their studios so you can watch them work! Wander the winding streets and alleyways of the island and see what you can find. Lots of small gift stores, studios and souvenir shops selling indigenous art."
