Megaphone's annual Victory Square Block Party will celebrate the community and Vancouver's local music scene, Sept. 4. The free event features seven local bands, DJs and comedians. All proceeds from the event's sponsors and the day's raffle draw will go toward Megaphone's vendor program, which helps provide training and support to the street magazine's homeless and low-income vendors. Bands include Sun Wizard, Hot Panda, BLines and Bleating Hearts. DJs Blood Diamonds, Teen Daze and others will spin canned music and Pump Trolley Comedy and peers will draw laughs. The party runs from 2 to 9 p.m. at Cambie and West Hastings.
