Folk Life Village

Gabriola's Folk Life Village was originally constructed as the Folk Life Pavillion for Vancouver's Expo 86 World Fair. In 1993 the Village was reassemble on Gabriola, the biggest structural recycling project in BC. Locally referred to as "The Village", a mix of essential services and local charm are offered. Grab groceries at Nestor’s Market, browse books at the Library, and stock up at the Liquor Store. Explore island homes with the Real Estate Office, discover unique pieces at the Clothing Shop, and visit Nova, a local artisan boutique showcasing handmade treasures. It’s a one-stop spot for both daily needs and authentic Gabriola experiences.
