Field Day Filming Locations
‘Field Day’ was filmed in Canada’s westernmost province of British Columbia, specifically in Vancouver. As per reports, principal photography for the comedy film got underway on November 17, 2023, and continued for the next three weeks or so, before getting wrapped up in the first week of December of the same year. So, let’s not waste any time and dive right into all the specific locations that make an appearance in the Hallmark movie!
Vancouver, British Columbia
The shooting for Hallmark’s ‘Field Day’ reportedly took place in and around Vancouver, the western Canadian city situated in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia. Referred to as Hollywood North, Vancouver usually serves as the primary production location for different kinds of productions due to several favorable traits — vast and versatile landscape, experienced and knowledgeable crew members, and its four distinct seasons that provide its own natural beauty. For supposedly the same reasons, the filming unit of the comedy movie decided to set up camp in different streets and neighborhoods of the city.
For shooting the exterior portions of the fictional Rock Oak School, the production team utilized the premise of an expansive establishment where they put up a sign of “Rock Oak School” on the wall of the building. When it comes to the indoor scenes, they were seemingly lensed on a sound stage of one of the film studios located in and around Vancouver. Besides ‘Field Day,’ Vancouver has hosted the production of a number of other movies and TV shows over the years, such as ‘Joy Ride,’ ‘White Chicks,’ ‘Happy Gilmore,’ ‘Puppy Love,’ and ‘A Million Little Things.’
