GVHA hosts and partners on a variety of vibrant events around the Inner Harbour that celebrate life on the water, sustainability, art, culture, food, sport, heritage, and community spirit. There’s something for everyone to enjoy in British Columbia’s city of festivals.
Market on the Pier, which offers artisan products from local vendors at the Breakwater District at Ogden Point, operates when cruise ships are at the terminal. Visit our cruise schedule for arrival details.
