Around Town

Town Centre always has a seasonal feel about it. Even though River District is very high density and always growing, it still has a close-knit small town vibe as well. River District Town Centre is the gathering place for celebrations, events, and seasonal décor! 

Town Centre

Spooky Season

In October, Town Centre is transformed into a Harvest Festival and Halloween theme, perfect for grabbing a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks and taking some spooky photos!

Lunar New Year

On Lunar New Year Town Centre was adorned in red and the community gathered to celebrate and watch the lion dancers!

Holiday Fun

We got a huge snowfall last year, but this little guy didn’t seem to mind! The Christmas tree and holiday décor that light up Town Centre in December are even more beautiful when it snows.

We Can’t Do It Alone

Artist: Fernanda Ribeiro

“This mural is an invitation back to the community, to the wholehearted feeling that we are part of something bigger. A reminder that we learn more about ourselves through the interactions we have with others and the world around us.”

River District Sunset

Artist: Anna Lazar

“It’s the little things that often bring me joy. Hanging this little painting outside for the passerby and hoping to bring them joy.”

Local Artisans

River District Honey

Did you know River District has it’s own Apiary? It’s true! We have our very own bees and, fueled by all the bee-friendly flowers around River District, they make the most delicious honey! It’s floral in nature and so healthy! You can buy it at the Harlin Presentation Centre in River District: 3455 Sawmill Crescent, Vancouver.    

Bak'd Cookies

Having Bak’d cookies as neighbours is both dangerous and delicious and frankly we are so happy they are here! From the classics, to the creative and unique flavours of the month, these 5oz cookies are so decadent and delicious. Pro-tip: warm them in the oven a little before consuming – chef’s kiss! Check them out at www.bakdcookies.ca

You may have seen Artsy Candle as a vendor at many pop-ups, markets, and maker events, but did you know they are locals of River District? It’s true! They are a family business making gorgeous artisan candles in a huge array of scents. Check them out at www.artsycandle.com
