Enjoy the Powell Street Festival with fellow Unitarians

The Powell Street Festival is one of the largest and the longest-running community arts festivals in Canada, located in Vancouver’s historic Japanese Canadian neighbourhood, Paueru Gai – today known as the Downtown Eastside. The Powell Street Festival Society also offers year-round programs, and collaborates with local organizations, artists, and communities.

You’re invited to attend with fellow Vancouver Unitarians for a guided tour of the Powell Festival with long-time VanU member, Megumi. This is the 50th annual Powell Festival, and the fifth year VanU members have attended as a group. The event is free and open to all!

We will be meeting 12 noon on Saturday, August 1, at the corner of Dunlevy Ave and E. Cordova St, at the entrance to Oppenheimer Park. For more about the festival, click HERE. Contact megumianderson46[at]gmail[dot]com if you are interested in attending with the group.
