If you’re looking for creative ways to connect with your new community this summer, August is your month. There is certainly no shortage of affordable events going on around town, from cultural festivals and live theatre to sports tournaments and the PNE. Here’s a freebie, for those of you interested in music and discussions around social change:
On Sunday, August 15th, Pivot is hosting the 3rd annual Justice Rocks music festival in Strathcona Park. Running from 1pm-8pm, Justice Rocks will feature capoeria, children’s performers, break-dancers, cultural medicine cabinet, youth hip-hop and a full line-up of local musical acts. Using media and performance, Justice Rocks aims to create a contemporary perspective on the idea of justice.
Pivot has also arranged for some fantastic local speakers from organizations like BC Civil Liberties Association, International Centre of Art for Social Change, Greenpeace Canada and Council of Canadians, who will give interactive presentations to get the crowd excited about participating in social change.
