Scene and Heard: Last Week in Music: VANCOUVER FOLK MUSIC FESTIVAL EDITION

SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver.

We interview some of our favourite local artists, and 'Last Week in Music' highlights some of the concerts happening around the city.

The Vancouver Folk Music Festival happened this past weekend in Jericho Beach Park. Hundreds of performers, thousands of attendees and a LOT of sunshine made for a weekend of music and fun.

After the jump there are some of the performances that I was lucky enough to catch... Leave a comment below and let me know: what was your festival highlight?!
