BESTiE presents the first annual #Safe Fest! All proceeds go to Safe Amplification Society and The Music Tree to help raise money for the establishment of a permanent all ages live music venue in Vancouver, and we're proud to be a sponsor.

Centred around the local music COMMUNITY, the festival aims to be an inclusive experience where access is granted to people of all ages to not only experience the live music scene but also to participate in it. Featuring a mix of under age bands as well as some of the city’s most established artists such as The Boom Booms, the goal is to promote a sense of ownership and participation in the culture that we all ultimately help to create.

The line-up has been revealed, and an affordable and accessible pricing scheme is in place to allow anyone a chance to see shows. All shows at Astorinos, Red Cat, and Neptoon will be “by donation”. Cover for other showcases will range from $5 - $10 and a full festival passes are $15.

Check out the Facebook event for more details, and the entire schedule below!
