An iconic summer tradition is returning to a Vancouver waterway this long weekend and promises to be a sight to behold.
False Creek Ferries has announced that its popular Ferry Ballet is happening on Monday, July 1 along the False Creek Waterfront.
Passers-by on the Seawall, as well as local residents, will be treated to a delightful display of synchronized maneuvers to start their Canada Day.
The ballet will begin east of the Cambie Bridge by the Olympic Village at 8 am. The ferry fleet will then sail up the creek to Granville Island at 9 am.
False Creek Ferries previously shared several recommended spots to watch the performances. They include:
- Habitat Island
- Yaletown ferry dock
- East side of the Cambie bridge
- David Lam Park seawall
- Pier overlooking the False Creek ferry dock on Granville Island
- East sidewalk on the Burrard bridge
