Free / All Ages
The 2025 Public Disco Summer Series Presented by 2 Hoots Hard Iced Tea wraps up with a free open-air party at šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énḵ Square. We’re returning to this iconic plaza to close out the season with a day that highlights west coast music culture at its best.
Curated by DJ Dairy Free, the lineup will feature all-vinyl sets from some of the city’s most trusted selectors. With the Vancouver Art Gallery as our backdrop, and the plaza steps offering room to post up, grab a bite, or dive into a record bin, this event invites both heads and passersby to tap into what makes our scene special. Full lineup to be announced closer to the date.

✦ LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
At Public Disco Society, we recognize that our events and gatherings primarily take place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. We honor and respect the Indigenous peoples who have stewarded these lands for generations and continue to do so today. We acknowledge that the land on which we operate, celebrate, and build community is stolen land. Our events and parties are held in public spaces that have been home to Indigenous Nations long before the arrival of settlers. As team members, it is our responsibility to tread softly on the land and respect it, always leaving the spaces we occupy better than how we found them. We encourage all members of our community to take this acknowledgment to heart, reflect on its significance, and actively engage in respectful and meaningful actions that support Indigenous sovereignty and rights.
✦ ABOUT PUBLIC DISCO
Public Disco Society is a registered non profit organization that reclaims public space for dance music, creating inclusive environments where people can gather, connect, and celebrate. Rooted in the underground ethos that shaped dance music culture, our events bring the energy of the club into public spaces - making space for community expression, cultural connection, and shared celebration.
