The 12th annual Discovery Coast Music Festival will be held in Bella Coola on July 23 and 24.
Attendees are in for the usual high calibre of musicianship for which this festival is known.
A free concert with Scott Cook and The Long Weekends on Friday night at the Valley Inn Pub will kick-off the weekend-long event.
Volunteer firemen will be serving up a free pancake breakfast on site at 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning, so you don’t have to miss the opening act at 11 a.m.
Vancouver’s ODDS will rock out the first night.
A special inter-active children’s site is open on Sunday, with story-telling, cedar weaving, and a featured performance by Juno award nominees, The Kerplunks.
Whether your taste leans to the groovin’ Afro-beat of Mr. Something Something; blues by Digging Roots; hip hop by Eekwol; the country/blues guitar of Joel Fafard; the jazzy Andrea Koziol Trio; or the old-timey strings of Pharis and Jason Romero; The Discovery Coast Music Festival will tickle your eardrums.
And the price won’t break your pocketbook, either.
A one-day pass for adults is only $25; for students and seniors it’s $20.
Children 12 and under are free.
Advance tickets are available at Williams Lake Sight & Sound for $5 off the gate price, but only until Saturday, July 16.
