Harmony Arts Festival is being modified for 2021
We are excited to share the news that this summer—modified for 2021—the Harmony Arts Festival, presented by Odlum Brown Limited, will return to the West Vancouver waterfront from July 30 to August 8. The District of West Vancouver is following COVID-19 protocols as set by the Provincial Health Officer.
Although Harmony will look different this year, the spirit, lifestyle, and natural beauty that makes West Vancouver so special will shine through. This uniquely West Vancouver festival has grown over the past 30 years to include visual, culinary, and performing arts.

- Follow guidelines
- It’s always safer outdoors

History
We acknowledge that the Harmony Arts Festival is on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Squamish Nation, Tsleil-Waututh Nation, and Musqueam Nation. We recognize and respect them as nations in this territory, as well as their historic connection to the lands and waters around us since time immemorial.
Harmony Arts Festival, presented by Odlum Brown Limited, began 30 years ago with a simple dream: to give the North Shore a festival worthy of its unparalleled setting. Read more.
Location
The festival takes place in West Vancouver along the waterfront on Argyle Avenue, from 14th to 16th Street. For 2021, the festival activities will center around Millennium Park at the foot of 15th Street. All new for this year, the Cypress Pop-up Village, located at 3757 Cypress Bowl Road, will be the venue to stage four dinner and comedy improv nights.
