Get ready to leave your car behind and join a celebration of community and sustainability—Port Moody’s Car-Free Day is back and bigger than ever! On Sunday, August 17, 2025, from 12 noon to 5pm, St. Johns Street will transform into a vibrant, vehicle-free zone filled with music, food, and community spirit.

What to Expect

This annual event is a highlight of the summer in Port Moody. Spanning St. Johns Street between Queens and Moody Streets, the celebration invites residents and visitors alike to explore the heart of the city in a whole new way—on foot, by bike, or via public transit.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

  • Live music from local performers

  • Delicious eats from food trucks and local vendors

Why Go Car-Free?

Car-Free Day isn’t just about fun—it’s also about promoting a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle. By closing the street to vehicles, the city encourages everyone to consider alternative modes of transportation and enjoy the benefits of a walkable, people-first environment.

Getting There

To support the car-free spirit of the event, attendees are encouraged to:

  • Walk or bike to the event

  • Use public transit (temporary bus stops will be available nearby)

  • Plan ahead, as St. Johns Street will be closed to vehicle traffic from 6am to 10pm

Safety First

The City of Port Moody is working closely with the Port Moody Police and a traffic management company to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Whether you're a local or visiting for the day, you can expect a well-organized and welcoming atmosphere.

Mark your calendar and get ready to celebrate community, culture, and sustainability at Port Moody’s Car-Free Day 2025. It’s more than just a street party—it’s a movement toward a greener future.
