Bitcoin Block Party
Vancouver’s Bitcoin Block Party is back on Sunday, August 23, for the biggest celebration of the summer! This FREE, all-ages event will take over the Bentall Centre Courtyard outside FUNK Coffee from 12 - 8 p.m., bringing together Bitcoin education, local businesses, live entertainment, food, and family-friendly activities.
The courtyard lineup includes DJ sets from Fustler, No_Requests, and morimori, alongside a live performance by singer Vivian. Visitors will also find the Bitcoin Bazaar, Crack On Food Truck, FUNK Beer Garden, and a Kids Zone featuring giant Jenga, chess, colouring, soccer tables, cornhole, and more.
The Bitcoin Bazaar will showcase businesses including CoinCards, Sovereign Engineering, DCTRL, BitSprout, Bitcoin Manor, Trail’s Coffee, Emboss Active, and The Ghee Guy. Every vendor at the event will accept Bitcoin alongside conventional payment methods, allowing attendees to spend their sats on food, drinks, apparel, books, gift cards, and other goods. A Bitcoin-enabled 21 Up vending machine and K1 Bitcoin ATM will also be on site.
Inside FUNK Coffee, the Block Talks Speaker Series will explore Bitcoin, money, technology, and energy with speakers Julian Figueroa, Scott Dedels, Peruvian Bull, and Colin Sullivan. Check out the Mining Museum and two hands-on workshops introducing attendees to Zeus Wallet and the fundamentals of Bitcoin wallets. Swan Cinema will host a screening of Bitcoin Season, followed by an in-person Q&A with director Mike Nicoll.
Arrive early for the Networking Hour inside FUNK for a chance to win one of three $50 cash prizes or enter in a raffle to win incredible prizes including 2 front row tickets to see the Vancouver Whitecaps take on St Louis City SC on Saturday September 5.
Rain or shine. No knowledge of Bitcoin is required. Everyone is welcome!
