The Story
Public Disco brings its signature daytime dance energy to North Vancouver's waterfront, pairing the covered outdoor Shipyards Commons with the industrial-heritage Pipe Shop venue for an eight-hour sonic journey. Renowned for turning community spaces into vibrant dance havens, the Vancouver crew expands its footprint along the Burrard Inlet for a day-into-night celebration of underground club culture. Curated for crate-diggers and dancefloor devotees alike, the transatlantic lineup bridges legendary electronic music capitals. Detroit powerhouse DJ Holographic brings soulful Motor City heat alongside NYC deep house visionary Fred P, while UK tastemakers Leon Vynehall and Prosumer weave expansive, euphoric sets traversing melodic house, raw techno, and classic disco rhythms. With panoramic skyline views, fresh harbour breezes, and warm indoor warehouse acoustics, the festival delivers an inclusive, community-first rave experience that captures the joy of open-air daytime dancing without sacrificing late-night club sound fidelity.

Continuous DJ sets spanning house, disco, and techno across two stages, paired with local food vendors, licensed bar service, and social lounge zones.
