Aug. 2nd and 3rd there are plans for art displays & demonstrations that run
several blocks along Argyle, a Beer Garden and Sound Stage.
ART RAVE is a free, family event. There will be art workshops for children.
Children will be able to paint their own windsock. The main show will be
centered in and around the Alberni Train Station. What a fine way to spend a
day… viewing the works of talented artists and hey, creating some art yourself
in the participation pavilion. There’s lots going on to engage the kids at this
FREE FAMILY EVENT. This year’s Sound Stage will include an afternoon Family
Program. In the evening, listen to some hot tunes and kick up your heels
to the 11 piece funk-i-licious band with a killer brass section, The New
Groovement.
Visitors can end their day with a stroll down to the nearby Quay and enjoy
the restaurants and shops while the kids unwind at the Harbor side
playground.
