Vancouver’s 2SLGBTQ+ hotspot

Through its charm and embracing spirit, Davie Village is the neighbourhood that brings people together.

1st

rainbow crosswalk in all of Canada sits at Davie and Bute Streets.

Davie Village began as a safe space for 2SLGBTQ+ folks when private displays of homosexuality were still illegal. Now, it’s flourished into a vibrant, out and proud community, stretching along Davie Street between Burrard and Jervis Streets.

The rainbow crosswalk will lead you to the Jim Deva Plaza, named for the late activist and 2SLGBTQ+ champion.

By day, Davie Village in Vancouver is perfect for strolling through small, locally-owned stores, or sipping fresh-brewed coffee in quaint cafés. By night, the street transforms into thumping blocks of lively clubs, pubs, and parties. The Village is steps away from Sunset Beach, where culture, beach, and city converge.
