The Do604 Weekend Forecast

Never let it be said that there’s nothing to do in Vancouver. Spoken word and slam poetry. The re-opening of one of Vancouver’s longest running and most cutting edge artist run centres. A live rendition of David Bowie’s “Blackstar” album, in full. TEDxEastVan. And Rihanna. All this, and more, over the next four days. Get out there and enjoy yourselves.
