Summer’s almost over, the kids are headed back to school, and that can only mean one thing: It’s time for one of the biggest parties of the year!
The Victory Square Block Party is celebrating 10 years of kicking out the jams in the Downtown Eastside this Sunday (Aug. 31), with another day-long line-up of free live bands and good times.
“We’re really excited to be celebrating 10 years of Victory Square,” says festival organizer Mike Gittens. “Every year the event seems to grow. It’s pretty special to see people come together to support exciting new Vancouver musicians.“
The Block Party has played host to some of the most exciting bands in Canada over the past decade, including Pink Mountaintops, The Unicorns, White Lung, and The Pack A.D.
This year’s lineup is no different, with the likes of Tough Age, The Shilohs, Cool, Dead Soft, Nervous Talk, and many others set to take the outdoor stage at Cambie and Hastings.
DJs Cherchez La Femme and Richard MacFarlane will be spinning music throughout the day, while a legion of food trucks will keep the hungry masses sated. Music starts at 2pm and finishes up at 9pm. Can’t get enough? Well there’s an after-party at 303 Columbia too!
