Bridging The Beautiful Game
June 6 – July 19, 2026
As Vancouver takes centre stage during the world’s biggest soccer tournament, Capilano Suspension Bridge Park is lacing up its boots and joining in the celebration. From June 6 to July 19, the quintessential outdoor destination will come alive with Canyon Kick-Off, an immersive, soccer-themed experience that blends nature and the beautiful game into the perfect match.
Canyon Kick-Off brings the pitch to the heart of the Park. Beneath the iconic bridge, country flags representing all eight nations competing in Vancouver are suspended alongside a giant 10-foot soccer ball, creating a striking visual across the canyon. Take in the sights and heights of the West Coast rainforest with its hat-trick of attractions – Treetops Adventure, Cliffwalk and the iconic Suspension Bridge. Around every turn, interactive soccer-themed activations, photo opportunities, and family-friendly activities invite guests to play, explore and celebrate, no matter who they’re cheering for.
Canyon Kick-Off is included in the price of admission or Annual Pass.
Park Hours: 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Guests can stay in the Park an hour past closing time.
