Thread Name: Vancouver Folk Music Festival
Subject: RE: Vancouver Folk Music Festival
Mission is on the north shore of the Fraser River, about 1hrs drive east of Vancouver, the festival grounds are in Mission Heritage Park. (in 1861 a Mission was established at this point on the river, where the salt water meets the fresh water.) Maybe you can find it with mapquest.com Its certainly a good deal for the money, $55 for the weekend (incl. friday night) camping is about $15 (rustic) (there is a primitive cold shower set up with a tarp around it) One of the best deals is the $3 breakfast hash browns, scrambled eggs, pancakes with berries and yogurt, coffee and orange juice. It certainly beats the food vendors there, the only one that was any good was was an organic juice bar, with vegetarian meals (not that Im a vegetarian but quite good) chick pea curry, and buddhas blessing (veg stirfry). I highly recommend the festival, and plan to make it a yearly event. petr.
