Summer Music and Art Fun: Plan Now!

It's only three weeks to the official start of summer and although our weather on the West Coast hasn't felt much like summer there is lots of music and arts fun coming up that you won't want to miss.  Toward the latter part of June is the TD Victoria International Jazz festival that runs from June 25th to July 4th.  Various venues throughout the City will host over 350 musicians. 

The City of Port Angeles, WA is hosting Concerts on the Pier throughout the summer nightly from 6PM-8PM and also check out the Summer Sounds at Skansie in Gig Harbor, WA with concerts every Tuesday night.

Summer is also a great time to visit the many visual art festivals and walks.  One of my favorites is the Cowichan Bay Art Walk July 10th and 11th.  Not only will you find wonderful art works but Cowichan Bay itself is a special place to visit with loads of beauty, character and great food!  Don't forget to have an ice cream at Udder Guys!

Another perfect place to visit for a wonderful art and music experience this summer is the Harrison Festival of the Arts in Harrison Hot Springs in the upper Fraser Valley in BC.  A beautiful setting and village atmosphere, you won't be disappointed!  Once you've made the rounds of the festival you can also relax in the famous hot springs!
