Festival Afloat: Vancouver
About the Event
Join an on-the-water, paddle powered concert afloat with RAVEN!
You are invited to join the show by paddling your kayak, canoe, rowboat or stand-up paddleboards to the deck of the Providence, a tall wooden sailing ship that will serve as a floating stage for the soul drenched tunes of songstress Desirée Dawson.
Location: Jericho Beach
We’re holding this floating show on the water off of Jericho Beach – the location will be firmed up pending wind & wave forecasts but expect it to be within paddling distance of the Jericho Beach Sailing Centre.
After a challenging year of separation and uncertainty, the Festival Afloat offers people a way to come together in a creative, safe, and supportive way. The concerts also give folks a tangible way to stand in support of First Nation’s access to justice, to level the playing field so that Indigenous rights and stewardship values can be upheld by the courts.
