South Granville Summer
The summer of 2021 is here and we finally have a lot to look forward to! As we're heading step-by-step towards a post-pandemic life, we'd love to present you this year's South Granville Summer programming! Our businesses have worked hard to get where we are today and would now love to celebrate this with you - safely but surely.
Patios & Plazas
Vancouver has a ton of beautiful patios and plazas to offer! Especially since the summer of 2020 - restaurants have worked hard to create more outdoor seating to enjoy their delicious eats and drinks. Let's sing their praise by voting for 'Vancouver's Best Patio'!
Take part in the PATIO campaign and win amazing prizes & share your patio stories by using #patiopics

TGIF - Thank Granville It's Food Trucks!
There’s a cool new pop-up food truck pod in town, just in time for summer! Fridays and Saturdays, 11am – 8pm, from June through Labour Day, local foodies will be thrilled to discover a rotating lineup of food trucks along West 10th Avenue by Fir Street in the South Granville neighbourhood!
TGIF – Thank Granville It’s Food trucks – is a curated collection of Vancouver’s finest food trucks organized by The South Granville Business Improvement Association (SGBIA). Nestled beside a charming little park with lots of benches and green space for socially distant picnics, the TGIF pod is close to transit, ample street parking, and steps away from great shopping and restaurants in South Granville.
