The August long weekend is approaching. Summer is already half-over! I'm sure most ULC students in Vancouver are wondering how to enjoy this three-day holiday. Well, I know this blog has turned into more of an events calendar, but don't miss out on the Gay Pride Parade and the Powell Street Festival.

2. 34th Annual Powell Street Festival
Saturday, July 31st and Sunday, August 1st, 2010
11:30 am to 7 pm
Oppenheimer Park (400 block Powell Street)
Tickets: FREE!
The Powell Street Festival is heading home! After last year’ one-year relocation to Woodland Park, the Powell Street Festival will return to its traditional home in the newly-renovated Oppenheimer Park. Taking inspiration from the Japanese notion of Koen debut, or Park debut, whereupon neighbourhood toddlers are introduced to their local community, the 34th Annual Powell Street Festival celebrates the idea of neighbourhood, youth, children, the park and its landscape. The festival includes music, performances, art, food, and more!!
