When the Freedom Mobile Arch opens in 2026, it will be the home of incredible experiences and arguably be one of the most beautiful outdoor amphitheatre stages in North America.

The venue is designed to showcase British Columbian and Canadian building products and engineering while adhering to the highest standards of environmental sustainability. One of the most spectacular elements of the design is the roof structure, which, when completed, will be one of the longest clear-span roofs in the world.

The Freedom Mobile Arch is a landmark civic and cultural infrastructure project currently under construction at Hastings Park and a cornerstone of the PNE’s renewal vision. Designed by Revery Architecture, this state-of-the-art outdoor venue combines sustainability, community integration, and artistic excellence to create a premier destination for live music, arts, culture, community celebrations, and more. With a seating capacity of approximately 10,000, the venue is designed to host a wide range of events, from blockbuster concerts to local arts programming, while fostering a strong connection with the surrounding neighbourhood and the broader British Columbia community.

Cultural Artistry of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nation

As part of a permanent public art commission through the City of Vancouver, the Freedom Mobile Arch celebrates the cultural legacy of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations with three significant installations by Indigenous artists:

· Squamish Nation – Sinámkin (Jody Broomfield): A multi-disciplinary artist whose work will be embedded in the concrete wall between the venue and Playland, symbolizing Squamish artistry.

· Musqueam Nation – Kelly Cannell: A Coast Salish artist recognized for vibrant, narrative-rich glass artwork installed on the back-of-house stage wall, adding a luminous cultural touch.

· Tsleil-Waututh Nation – shḵwen ̓ Ocean and Sara Hyland: Sisters and accomplished multidisciplinary artists whose sandblasted concrete walkway beneath the roof grounds the structure in Tsleil-Waututh presence.

These artworks honor the deep cultural heritage of the host Nations and affirm Vancouver’s commitment to Truth and Reconciliation and Indigenous visibility in civic spaces.
