Yaletown
Hamilton and Helmcken (Yahoo! Maps, Google Maps)
Vancouver, British Columbia
Mark your calendars on Saturday July 29th 2006 for the Yaletown 06 Flamin' Hot Classic Car Show + Summer Celebration. It’s fabulous…it’s free…and it’s all part of Vancouver's Best Free Day of the Summer!

This power pack day, needing no money down, starts with over 60,000 people spending their afternoon at the Yaletown 06 Flamin' Hot Classic Car Show + Summer Celebration. In the evening the action moves to English Bay for the Celebration of Lights fireworks. Visitors get a jump on parking spaces and the best viewing spots for the show. Two great events, one fabulous Free Day. Downtown has never been this good.

Yaletown’s high-energy festival takes place in the five blocks of the old heritage area along Mainland and Hamilton, spilling into the streets and onto the loading docks. Whether you’re a car buff or just a dreamer, it's hard not to fall in love the dazzling array of classic cars at the show. You’ll also find giant sidewalk sales, old time candy corn and samplings from some of Yaletown’s leading edge restaurants. There’s a main stage with live entertainment all day plus a dog show, an aerial bike show, and a kids area with petting zoo, pony rides and amusement fun. For 2006, there’ll be an expanded beer garden with live entertainment for you to enjoy while laying low and taking it all in. The old loading docks are filled with outdoor café’s and make for a great vantage point to sit and relax and watch it all go by. It’s Vancouver Best Free Day, and it starts in Yaletown. You can’t afford to miss it.
