What's happening in Vancouver - Safe fest brings all ages music festival to Vancouver

Vancouver can boast an impressive music scene. But for minors, seeing your favourite band can be difficult when they’re playing at a 19+ venue. #Safe Fest wants to change that. The four-day music festival, this weekend, is an all-ages event that aims to be an inclusive environment for music lovers young and old.

#Safe Fest, presented by local band BESTiE, will feature live shows at a number of venues all over Vancouver. The lineup is a mix of bands, from established artists to under age bands that are normally unable to perform at bars or clubs. In addition to live shows, there will also be workshops by community leaders. Attendees are encouraged to not just enjoy the live music scene but to participate in it. #Safe Fest’s goal is to access the power of live music and promote a sense of ownership and participation in a culture that everyone helps to create.

 

#Safe Fest hopes to be an inclusive event by not only being all-ages but by also keeping ticket prices low. Tickets range from $5-10, with by donation shows at three venues – Astorinos, Red Cat, and Neptoon – to ensure anyone can attend. All proceeds will go to the Safe Amplification Site Society and The Music Tree to help establish a permanent all-ages live music venue in Vancouver.
