City of Coquitlam

Located just 40 minutes from Vancouver, Coquitlam invites you to hop off the SkyTain and start exploring.

Enjoy boutique shopping, relaxed patio lunches, and sweet treats before strolling the scenic pathways around Lafarge Lake—the heart of our vibrant festival site. Take in a live performance or explore inspiring exhibitions at the Evergreen Cultural Centre, then continue your cultural journey through public art tours, whether guided or self-led.

Savour local craft beers, discover thriving foodie enclaves, and indulge in a culinary scene shaped by Coquitlam’s rich multicultural roots. From café crawls to year-round festivals and events, there’s always something to taste, see, and celebrate.

Enjoy one of our many free community events—Paint in the Park, Music in the Streets, the Summer Concert Series, and a vibrant calendar of festivals that bring the city to life year-round. In winter, experience the magic of Lights at Lafarge, as Lafarge Lake glows with hundreds of dazzling lights, transforming the lakeside into a festive wonderland.

In the historic neighbourhood of Maillardville, creativity and heritage come together. Visit Place des Arts, a hub for arts education and exhibitions, then step back in time at Mackin House, where Coquitlam’s rich social history comes to life.
