Carnies, we need to celebrate ourselves with a party- it's been too long. And our outdoor auxiliary workshops have been an added bonus to our Monday night workshops…which adds up to having an outdoor Saturday workshop in the summer, 29 July to be precise. Followed by a potluck and swim … in… rural Langley? Yes, after 23 July when you enjoy the charms of the Jazz festival in Fort Langley in North Langley, you can follow up with a Saturday afternoon in South Langley with Darryl ….playing music at 2-4 pm and then maybe some more music after eating and swimming and roaming the garden and petting the horses.
Christine’s place: 657 202 Street Langley V2Z 1V7 (south of 8th ave…don’t let your GPS take you to 65th ave!!)…To get to south Langley…driving there from anywhere in Vancouver travel via hwy 99 is easy- go south as far as you can, almost to usa border, and last exit before border is 8th AVE EAST and take that and travel east about 7 min to 202 St and turn right and we are the third house on the right (house is bright BLUE). If you take hwy 1 take the hwy 15 exit all the way to 8th ave, turn Left and then go east to 202 St and turn right).

Southlands at Tsawwassen
We are holding our Summer Nights at Southlands event, with a craft market, food trucks and performers, and we thought it would be amazing to have the Carnival Band's joyous atmosphere and wild entertainment.
I'm so glad to see Carnival Band is still at it- I discovered your magic waaaaay back in the early days of producing Illuminares at Trout Lake!
- 4-8pm is the total event
- Greenroom in the Grange building, which is adjacent to the Red Barn and Market Square
We will draw attention to the event as well as enlivening the mood of vendors by roving around and leading the public back in to the event space. We will have use of a stationary site as a main performance space with one or more microphones so we can perform some of our songs with more complicated lyrics that benefit by being heard.
We will do roving for 20 minutes at 5pm and 6pm and a set of 30-40 minutes in place at 7pm. But we will remain open to fitting around other performances that they might not want drowned out!
Event start: 4:00pm. Performance start: 5:00pm.

Friday, 27 Oct 2023: North Van Cares
Pipe shop at the Shipyards in North Van
A fundraiser on the North Shore at the Pipe Shop at the Shipyards in North Vancouver.
The North Van Cares Foundation is a non-profit on the North Shore. It was started during COVID to provide seniors and other compromised folks help getting groceries and prescriptions. It has morphed into a community based, grassroots organisation that raises money for other non-profits and charities on the shore.
With our first gala in October 2022 we raised $2k for each of our 4 charities. The Black Bear Society, North Shore Search and Rescue, Backpack Buddies and the Lookout Shelter. We felt that focusing on fund raising for others would free them up to do the good works they are so great at.
Event start: 12:00am. Performance start: 12:00am.
