All shows will all be available for free via the website at thefestival.bc.ca starting on July 16th and running until July 25th. The shows were filmed at a variety of local venues - Buckerfield's, The Cultch, Jericho Beach Park, Kay Meek Centre, The Rickshaw, and Soundhouse Studios.
Along with the free online shows, a selection of concerts and song circles will be shown on the big screen at the Rio Theatre on July 17th and 18th (tickets at riotheatre.ca), so you can watch in A/C comfort, wear your fave fest attire, and have a beverage and popcorn while enjoying the show with an audience.
In addition to the shows there will be print at home colouring sheets of festival art, a special festival crossword puzzle, a 50/50 draw and a "fest" map of local vendors and venues to support! For more information, please visit thefestival.bc.ca.
