Vancouver Pride Week returns July 25 – August 2, 2026, building up to the 48th annual Vancouver Pride Parade and the return of the Davie Village Pride Festival.
With crowds expected in the hundreds of thousands across Yaletown, downtown, and the West End, street parking disappears fast, and several key routes close to traffic for the day.
This guide covers parking options with Indigo Neo that are near the Vancouver Pride Parade and Davie Village Pride Festival, plus road closures and where to find the official schedule, route, and festival details.

Conclusion
Vancouver Pride is one of the biggest days of the summer downtown, and between the parade closures and the Davie Village Pride Festival, driving in without a plan is the easiest way to miss the parts you came for.
Book your spot with Indigo Neo so you can focus on the parade, the festival, and the party, not on where to leave your car.
