East Van
Uncover the unexpected on every corner
Eclectic and electric, East Van’s culture is the marriage of creativity and community.
The iconic East Van Cross, a structural art installation created by local artist Ken Lum, has become a symbol for the area. Locals wear it on hats and shirts, acting as a marker for the pride people have in their East Van identity.
Home to neighbourhoods like Strathcona, Grandview-Woodland, Trout Lake, and the iconic Commercial Drive.
East Van has a sweeping footprint full of diverse character. But all areas have one thing in common: They thrive with culture. East Van is ground zero for all things cool, like the spirited Commercial Drive, densely populated artistic communities, guerilla public art installations, and innovative eateries and breweries.
