Try and find a better way to celebrate the first day of summer than by listening to more than150 amateur and professional artists gracing every street corner of Vancouvers historic Gastown. At this all-day free event, the entire neighbourhood will be transformed into festive dance floors and musical stages. Move and groove down Water Street to all musical genres, including metal, punk, reggae, R&B, world music, rock, pop and more. The party continues after 10pm inside many of Gastowns pubs, restaurants and eateries. Inspired by La Fete de la Musique, an event launched in France in 1982, this community oriented event has taken off across North America, celebrated in dozens of cities including Los Angeles and Denver. Make Music Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»is a grassroots event, made possible entirely by the extraordinary efforts of volunteers. .
