Yes, there will be a FREE secure bicycle compound with space for 1,500 bikes at Stanley Park that is staffed by the team at BEST (Better Environmentally Sound Transportation): http://thebicyclevalet.ca/. Everyone is encouraged to cycle or walk to Summer Live, it will be the greenest and fastest way in and out of the Park.

Hi, I was wondering about setting up a picnic during the evening concert events. Shouldn’t be a problem, as long as I don’t have a bbq?
Yes, no problem to have a picnic in the park!
No tickets needed!
