The Make Good Party celebrates all things local, bringing a curated gathering of BC's top makers, artists, vintage, breweries, food trucks & DJs to the party. The Make Good Party features a diverse cross-section of talented local DJs weaving a sun soaked soundtrack for bevy and lounge enthusiasts and those who like to throw down on the dance floor.

Vision 

Established in 2021, The Make Good Party was born from a desire to bring people together, support BC’s independent creative community, and celebrate the local talent that makes our cities special. 

With artists, musicians, and small businesses facing challenges during the pandemic, we wanted to create something positive — a space to reconnect through music, creativity, and community.

The Make Good Party is an all-ages street party celebrating the best of local culture, part dance floor, part neighbourhood hangout, it’s a gathering of creative minds, good people, and homegrown talent.

Events 

The Make Good Party is proud to have partnered with award-winning cultural events including the Vancouver Mural Festival, Car Free Day Main Street, The Beaumont Studios, and Astro Arts Festival, creating vibrant experiences that celebrate local artists, makers, musicians, and small businesses.

Building on this success, we expanded to Victoria, producing community-focused events at the city's iconic Inner Harbour waterfrontand partnering with the City of Victoria to host a Halloween event at the historic Market Square.
