Event Description

Join several of us from June 1-3 (and at other times TBD) in helping to transform this American city into an urban oasis of guerilla urban planning.  Check out City Repair, the organization behind this event here.

Email Village Vancouver to inquire about joining a pilgrimage to see a new way of handling urban redevelopment through community engagement and respect, and NOT VIA BULLDOZER! 

WE AIM TO BRING HOME THE LESSONS WE LEARN AND APPLY THEM HERE!

(Psst, we are really going for the great local, organic beer.)

City Repair's Village Building Convergence is an annual ten-day placemaking festival that combines crowdsourced activism, creative community development, hands-on education and celebration.

During the day, you will have the opportunity to get involved with creative, community designed placemaking projects happening all over the city. There will be building, gardening, art, and many other fun things to do and great people doing them with you! This aspect of the event is always free.
