Events Services - North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
CityFest started in 2002 when the City of North Vancouver threw a party with some youth serving agencies to celebrate the opening of the Centennial Skate Park. That party included a BBQ and a small skate competition. Since that time, CityFest has grown tremendously to include performing artists, visual arts displays, interactive projects, food and the largest skate competition in Metro Vancouver. The festival, which is held annually during Youth Week, is run by youth, for youth - volunteers meet throughout the year to plan, coordinate and execute the event. Annually attracting over 6000 participants, CityFEST is the provinces largest youth event.
