Now in its 19th year (amazing!) Under The Volcano Fest takes place this Sunday, August 9th at Cates Park in North Vancouver. The festival combines music, poetry, storytelling, and workshops in a beautiful scene.
This year's fest includes performances by local art-punk institution Mecca Normal, rapper Invincible, 2008 Vancouver Poetry Slam Champion Scruffmouth and scads of other bands, DJs and creators.
Also on the sched, a series of workshops ranging in subjects from "Resisting 2010: No Olympics on Stolen Land" to "Peoples History of Kanada: Chapter 2 - Internment, Displacement & Stolen Generations". There are also activities for kids at the Dragonfly Kidz Fest.
The self-described 'Festival of Art and Social Change' runs from 12 noon till about 9:30PM and admission is by donation ($10 - $20 suggested). A free shuttle to the festival grounds leaves Broadway station starting at 11AM on Sunday, and runs every 30 minutes, with the last ones leaving directly after the festival at 9:30.
