Freedom Mobile Arch
Pays tribute to the unique architecture of the venue itself as the largest free-span timber frame in the world. The roofline and arches are designed and oriented to showcase the spectacular natural beauty of the West Coast.
Announcing…. the Freedom Mobile Arch
Earlier this year, a 12-year agreement between the PNE and Freedom Mobile was announced. It includes a number of elements, most notably the naming rights of the new amphitheatre, and also a partnership on some of the PNE’s most beloved properties including the annual summer PNE Fair and the extremely popular Halloween event, Fright Nights.
After a province-wide poll for the name of the new venue, there was a clear favourite, more than doubling all the other name options combined. This spectacular new PNE outdoor venue will be called the Freedom Mobile Arch!
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 longer than the roof of the Richmond Oval and one of the longest clear-span roofs in the world.
Plans for the venue include hosting a wide variety of music and culture events – ranging from the incredibly popular Summer Night Concerts at the PNE Fair, to arts and culture performances by symphonies, cultural innovators, community organizations and others. With the beautiful BC mountains in the background, the venue’s clear-span wood roof is not only striking but also engineered to act as a significant sound barrier to mitigate noise bleed into the surrounding community.
Designed by renowned Vancouver-based architecture company Revery Architecture, construction on the Freedom Mobile Arch is anticipated to be complete in summer 2026.
