Harmony Arts and Youth Rock

Date

By Catherine Barr

 

West Vancouver's Harmony Arts Festival is in full swing this week with activities ranging from arts and crafts to live music, gallery events, kid's activities, movies and much much more. Youth Rock, a three-day mini-festival featuring up-and-coming local bands, wrapped up last Monday at the outdoor Garden Stage. Sinatra it's not. But the new music, new faces and new attitudes helped prove that even West Vancouver is getting into the groove. Let's hope this youthful vibe continues to grow for the benefit of the whole community. Harmony Arts activities continue until Sunday along the West Vancouver waterfront between 14th and 16th streets.
