Port Moody is coined “The City of the Arts,” and thus has a number of arts and entertainment that occurs in the city throughout the year. From the
Port Moody Arts Centre to Golden Spike Days and the amazing Ribfest Festival.
To name a few, The Port Moody Farmer’s Market is a local market that occurs at the Port Moody recreation centre on Sundays throughout various seasons.

It is a community event featuring 3 Days of Delicious BBQ, Free Live Music, Craft Breweries & Family Entertainment!
Golden Spike Festival is also held annually at Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park. It features live music, local businesses, special events, and activities for all ages. It is one of the oldest and longest running family events in BC, and attracts upwards of 40,000 people, and commemorates the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway line and its arrival at the original western terminus in Port Moody where the LAST SPIKE was driven. It is run over the Canada Day Long weekend.
