Kitsilano is about to transform into a fantastical dreamscape. On July 11, the West 4th Avenue BIA invites folks to fall down the rabbit hole for the return of the Khatsahlano Street Party. Under this year’s enchanting theme, Khatsahlano Wonderland, Vancouver’s biggest free music and arts festival will take over 10 vibrant blocks from Burrard Street to Macdonald Street.
Curated by local independent music staple Zulu Records, the festival is a massive celebration of regional talent. A highlight is the powerhouse lineup on the Burrard Stage, presented by TD and Stir. Get ready to spin straight into wonderland with headlining band Uncle Strut, known for its high-energy, soul-infused rock grooves. Sharing the Burrard Stage is an incredible array of B.C. talent, including the genre-bending rock of Felisha and the Jazz Rejects, the raw post-punk of Concrete Vehicles, and the dirty soul of Leo D.E Johnson. Audiences will also catch Chopping Spree!, Big Rig, Emmett Jerome, and the dreamy indie sounds of Jian & Kitten Co., making the Burrard Stage an absolute must-visit.
The Khats Kids Zone features family-friendly entertainment all day long.
