Off For the Long Weekend. Back On the 7th

Yup, it's the long weekend and we're off to cottage country, traffic and mossies be damned. There's a stack of corn, punts loaded with local fruits, and dogs and burgers too. So its splish splash, flip flops and summer swims.

Yup, it's the long weekend and we're off to cottage country, traffic be damned.


There's a stack of corn, punts loaded with local fruits, and dogs and burgers too, so come join us if you please. Otherwise, see you back in the same place Wednesday a.m.

Enjoy these summer days and no complaints about the heat, please.

Festivals News

Vancouver Folk Music Festival has announced the appointment of Corbin Murdoch as its new executive director. He is a local arts-scene veteran who recently served as the executive director of the Dawson City Music Festival and earlier worked with Theatre Replacement and the Cultch in Vancouver.

The VFMF is now heading into its 49th year. The Georgia Straight notes that "one of Vancouver’s longest-running cultural events, the festival survived a rough patch as the world was emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic." In Jan. 2023, the fest announced the cancellation of that summer's fest, but a public outcry saw that decision reversed and the event has continued annually since then.
