Lonsdale Quay Market is marking 40 years with a free all-day event on Saturday, November 21, 2026. The market says the event, called Rediscover the Quay, runs from 11 am to 10 pm at 123 Carrie Cates Court in the City of North Vancouver.

The market opened in 1986 during Expo 86, the world's fair held in Vancouver that year. It sits at the foot of Lonsdale Avenue on the North Vancouver waterfront and says it now houses more than 60 locally owned businesses, including restaurants, food vendors and shops.

## What is happening on November 21

The market says the event will include live music performances, live painting demonstrations by local artists, and an artisan market it calls Made in the 604, which features local makers. Food vendors and kitchen pop-ups are also planned. Family-friendly activities are on the schedule as well. The market says the day will also mark the launch of a new loyalty stamp card program for its shops and restaurants.

The blog Miss604 reported on the event on November 8, 2026, describing it as the market's celebration of its opening during Expo 86. No admission charge is listed for any part of the day.

## Where to go

The market is at 123 Carrie Cates Court in the City of North Vancouver, at the foot of Lonsdale Avenue beside the SeaBus terminal. The SeaBus runs between Lonsdale Quay and Waterfront Station in downtown Vancouver, and the Lonsdale Quay bus exchange connects to routes across the North Shore.

The market is owned and operated by Quay North Urban Development, not the City of North Vancouver. Its website lists upcoming hours and events at lonsdalequay.com.

Residents planning to attend the November 21 event can check lonsdalequay.com for any updates to the schedule or program times before the day.
