With more than 50 bands, 40 food trucks, and 10 closed city blocks, the 2014 edition of the Khatsahlano Block Party could be one of the best festivals in Vancouver this summer.
Festival organizers announced the lineup last week, with music curated by Zulu Records including The Poppy Family Experience, The Evaporators, Nu Sensae, Humans, and Jay Arner, among dozens more.
The festival is into its fourth year and will take place July 12 in Kitsilano. The 10-block section between Burrard to MacDonald will be closed off to cars, and offer dozens of festival-goers room to roam, listen, and enjoy.
For the first time, the festival will host outdoor beer gardens at three locations around the festival, but also promises to be kid-friendly and offer something for everybody.
Jane McFadden, executive director of the West 4th Business Improvement Association, says the beauty of such a diverse event is that it evolves throughout the day. You can start your morning with an hour of yoga, and end the evening rocking out to your favorite band, all in the same spot.
The event is free and will run from 11am to 9pm along the West Fourth shopping district.
So wear your comfy shoes, put on your sunblock and prepare yourself for one unforgettable experience. Khatsahlano.com
