This year, the second annual Car-Free Day will take place on Sunday, August 19, 2018 from 12 noon to 7pm. The City of Port Moody will close a section of St. Johns Street from Douglas Street to Moody Street (from 6am to 10pm) for the event.
Car-Free Day will feature:
Live music on the Main Stage;
Great food, available from local restaurants;

Family-friendly activities, like rock climbing, street hockey, face painting, and a bicycle skills and safety zone;

Car-free days take place across the country and aim to inspire people to get out of their cars, interact with each other, and explore alternative modes of transportation.
