Top Fan Zones & Nearby Rentals
Are you heading to British Columbia for the biggest sporting event in history?
If you didn’t snag tickets for the matches at BC Place, don’t worry! Vancouver is transforming into a massive soccer celebration.
To help you plan your trip, we’ve put together the ultimate guide to the best free Fan Zones in Vancouver and, more importantly, where to find the best World Cup accommodation to stay close to the action with Kipsmith.
1. FIFA Fan Festival™ at Hastings Park (PNE)
This is the official headquarters for football fans. Located at the PNE grounds, this massive venue will host up to 25,000 fans daily.
- The Vibe: Massive screens, live international concerts, and an electric atmosphere.
- SEO Tip (How to get there): Avoid driving. Use the Vancouver SkyTrain or official FIFA shuttles.
- Stay with Kipsmith: Our East Vancouver rentals provide the perfect balance—close enough to the festival to avoid long commutes, but tucked away in quiet neighborhoods for a great night’s rest.
2. The Shipyards (North Vancouver) – The “Canada House”
For the most scenic experience, head across the water to Lower Lonsdale.
The Shipyards will feature a 30-foot outdoor screen with the stunning Vancouver skyline as a backdrop.
- The Vibe: Trendy, waterfront dining, and a “local favorite” feel.
- Kipsmith Advantage: We specialize in North Vancouver vacation rentals. Staying in our Lower Lonsdale properties means you are just steps away from the screen and the SeaBus terminal.
3. Granville Island: Family-Friendly Viewing
If you’re traveling with kids and want a more relaxed atmosphere, the viewing zone under the Granville Street Bridge is your best bet.
- The Vibe: Cultural, artistic, and surrounded by the best public market in Canada.
- Stay with Kipsmith: Our Kitsilano and False Creek properties are ideal for families looking for spacious World Cup rentals within walking distance of this zone.
