Davie Day set to take over the street Sept 12

Friday, 28 August 2009

August may be prime beach time but, for Vancouverites, the biggest party of the summer happens after the kids go back to school. September 12 marks Davie Day 2009, the West End Business Improvement Association (WEBIA)’s sixth annual celebration of the history, culture and creativity of Vancouver’s West End.

Joan-E at Davie Day Sponsored by TD Canada Trust, the community festival sees the downtown artery closed to traffic between Burrard and Broughton, making room for roaming entertainers, six outdoor patios, a movie theatre, exhibitors and two performance stages. The event runs from 11:00 am until 8:00 pm, with over 40,000 residents from the community attending last year.

The day-long event showcases the richness and diversity of the West End with food kiosks, street vendors, artists and local merchants offer a taste of the neighbourhood’s flavours and finds. A welcome by the Chinook Songcatchers kicks off the entertainment. MC’d by charismatic West End favourite Joan-E, the all-day lineup includes Kim Kuzma, Jerome Mandrake, Bob Liley and acoustic duo Romeo’s Crush. A community stage features up-and-coming performers. Additionally, The Peak and Virgin Radio will be broadcasting live from the event.
