Granville Island is a breathtaking oasis in the heart of Vancouver. Famous for its Public Market, abundant with unique retailers, restaurants, theatres, galleries and studios, its gritty, industrial past is proudly displayed in today's people-friendly, artistic, and energetic incarnation. More than 10 million visits to the Island are recorded annually.

Granville Island is also home to the Crafts Association of British Columbia, the Federation of Canadian Artists, and Circle Craft Co-op. There are two educational institutions, the Arts Umbrella and Emily Carr University of Art & Design. Buskers entertain year-round indoors and out, and Granville Island hosts international festivals throughout the year, such as the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, the Vancouver International Writers Festival, and the Vancouver Fringe Festival, to name just a few.

Both the Public Market and the Net Loft are open until 7 pm, 7 days a week.
