Ready to party crash the pedestrian paradise of UBC? 🚲✨ There's no better place on Earth for a JOY RIDE.
✅ More energy. More dancing. More authentic connection.
❌ Zero alcohol. Zero smartphones. Zero status.
Joy Ride is a mobile dance party on wheels — bikes, scooters, roller blades — all lit up and flowing as one joyful crew through the night streets. We ride with lights, beats, and good vibes, creating spontaneous joy for ourselves and everyone we pass.
Unleash Your Inner Spark: Dance, move, and vibe on bikes, scooters, or rollerblades as we light up the city with music and positivity.
Connect Authentically: Leave your phone behind and bond with a diverse crew of joymakers—no distractions, just real human connection.
Feel the Freedom: Explore the city in a whole new way, spreading good vibes to everyone we pass. It’s a workout, a party, and a mood-lifter all in one!
Be Part of Something Bigger: Join the Joymaking movement that’s been spreading joy since 2017, transforming streets into a celebration of life.
Picture this: a rolling dance floor powered by your energy, with beats pumping and smiles everywhere. No judgments, no pretenses—just pure, unfiltered fun.
⚠️ THIS IS NOT A PARTY, IT'S SO MUCH MORE.
This is a self expression expedition where you'll be guided through games and exercises. They'll invite you to overcome your fears and step into your sober expression, playfulness, and courage. You'll leave with more confidence in your social skills and leadership, so that you can ignite joy in the REAL world.
This experience is not for you if you don't value interacting with others, participating in group activities, or being in a joy focused environment.
🎟 REGISTRATION

📲 Numbers stay hidden. Max 2 messages per week.
🎫 Tickets are on a sliding scale $10-30.
👋 Low-income tickets are available.
📍 The event location will not be shared publicly.
After hosting hundreds of events, we’ve learned a tough lesson: When the location is public and no ticket is required, the vibe gets off. Some folks don’t align with the values we hold dear—sobriety, playfulness, and wellness.
So now, we prioritize quality of humans over quantity. If you choose to come, you’ll see exactly why.
