If
you plan to visit the Boundary region this summer,
time your trip for the fourth weekend in July when
Grand Forks hosts the Festival of Freedom at the
Forks. This annual three day, community sponsored,
family oriented event in this sunny valley is the
least expensive and most rewarding festival of its
kind that you will find in B.C.
Enjoy
concert quality music ranging in style from country,
folk, pop and rock, to blues, jazz and bluegrass
by well-known recording artists and aspiring local
talent. Take in world class multi-cultural performances,
displays of aboriginal heritage, and unique art
works and handcrafts created by local and regional
artisans. Check out a cornucopia of vendors’
wares, and sample ethnic and vegetarian culinary
delights. While your kids have fun in a supervised
play area, you can expand your horizons at informative
and empowering workshops related to the Festival’s
mission, “building cultures of peace and respect
for human dignity and ecological integrity.”
Last, but not least, take satisfaction in the knowledge
that Festival proceeds, after expenses, fund programs
and organizations that advance the Festival’s
mission locally, nationally and globally.
If
you want to have a great time for all the right
reasons, the third annual Festival of Freedom at
the Forks, in beautiful Boundary Country is the
place to be this summer. Reserved camping,
without hookup, is available at the Festival site.
