Angel Vancouver is located at No. 2 Powell Street in the Gastown district of Vancouver, Canada. Our store is on the corner of Powell & Carrall Street in Maple Tree Square, where Vancouver began.  The photo above shows what the location of my store looked like in 1886.

U2 plays two concerts Thursday and Friday night (May 14 & 15) in Vancouver after spending a couple of weeks here rehearsing before kicking off their summer tour. It’s also a long weekend (Monday is a holiday but Angel will be open), with a free concert in front of my store Saturday that will include a number of bands. The featured act will be Dubliner James Vincent McMorrow, who begins playing at 7 p.m. on May 16th.

Traffic will be closed on Powell Street from Main to Abbott from 2 to 10 p.m. on Saturday; Carrall Street will also be closed.
