ROSH HASHANAH — SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2026 | 5:00 PM
DAVID LAM PARK, DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER
Gather in the park for a moment of reflection.
For thousands of years, Jews have gathered on Rosh Hashanah to hear the Shofar — the simple, stirring sound of a ram’s horn — marking the beginning of a new year and the birthday of humanity.
This September 13, join fellow Vancouverites to hear the Shofar, pause from the noise of everyday life, and reconnect with something simple, timeless, and deeply personal.
The Shofar in the Park happens once. It won’t be broadcast or recorded. Jewish tradition requires hearing the Shofar directly — not through a microphone or recording. It’s a true you-had-to-be-there moment.
The Shofar speaks differently to each of us. One message might be this: Don’t live your life through the opinions and expectations of others. Like the Shofar’s call, live your life firsthand — and be your own original.
Shofar, and so close.
Enter from Pacific and Drake Streets in Yaletown. Bring your family and friends and join us on the seawall, just south of the large green field and playground.
