Community Events That Brought PoCo Together

One of the most rewarding parts of 2025 was being present at so many events that brought the Port Coquitlam community together. From family-friendly celebrations to seasonal gatherings, these moments reminded us just how connected PoCo truly is.

Throughout the year, POCO LIVING attended and shared local markets, pop-up events, holiday celebrations, parades, and community-led initiatives. Whether it was a festive street filled with lights, a local event supporting small businesses, or neighbours coming together to celebrate the season, these events showcased the heart of Port Coquitlam.

Some of the most memorable moments came during the holidays, when streets lit up, local traditions returned, and families filled public spaces with laughter, music, and warmth. Being able to document and share these experiences was a highlight of the year.

Celebrating Local Traditions

Port Coquitlam is home to traditions that locals look forward to year after year, and 2025 was no exception.

POCO LIVING was proud to capture and share well-loved traditions that continue to define the city’s character, from iconic holiday light displays to seasonal events that residents of all ages enjoy. These traditions aren’t just events; they’re part of PoCo’s identity, passed down through families and generations.

Sharing these moments helped newcomers discover what makes Port Coquitlam special, while longtime residents relived memories they’ve cherished for years.

Supporting and Showcasing Local Businesses

Small businesses are the backbone of Port Coquitlam, and in 2025, POCO LIVING continued its mission to support and spotlight local entrepreneurs.

Throughout the year, we visited cafes, bakeries, wellness spaces, fitness studios, and locally owned shops, sharing their stories and giving the community a closer look at the people behind the businesses. From family-run establishments to newer businesses finding their place in PoCo, each visit highlighted the passion and hard work that goes into keeping our local economy thriving.

These features weren’t just about promoting businesses; they were about building trust, encouraging residents to shop local, and helping strengthen the connection between businesses and the community.

Nature, Parks, and Everyday PoCo Moments

Port Coquitlam’s natural beauty played a big role in the 2025 content. From rivers and trails to parks and changing seasons, POCO LIVING spent time outdoors capturing the quieter moments that often go unnoticed.

We shared scenes of salmon spawning, fall colours in local parks, calm evening walks, and the simple beauty of everyday life in PoCo. These moments reminded us that not every story needs a stage; sometimes, it’s the peaceful, ordinary moments that resonate the most.
