Coastal Sound International Festival

A Non-Competitive Choral Festival

Transportation

Bus Transportation

Air

Choirs are responsible for booking flights from their city of origin to the Vancouver International Airport (YVR). U.S. choirs may find less expensive flights to Seattle's Seatac Airport. However, before deciding on this routing, please consider additional ground transportation costs (train and/or buses), additional driving time, and border waits.

Ellison Travel, the festival's travel partner, can make flight bookings for visiting choirs.

Airport Transfers

Choirs will be responsible for their own airport transfers. Ellison Travel can arrange airport transfers for visiting choirs.

Ground Transportation (Bus)

All bus transportation for choirs during the festival to concert venues is included in the festival fee.

Other Transportation Needs

Choirs requiring additional bus transportation (either charter highway buses or local school buses) for -

  • Breakout Day excursions
  • Pre and post festival tours

can contact Ellison Travel to book additional bus needs.

Public Transportation

Translink provides public bus transport from Simon Fraser University campus to the city's Skytrain service (light rail transit system). From a Skytrain Station, you can link to many destinations in the city of Vancouver. Please refer to Translink's website for route information, bus schedules, trip planning, and fares.
