Music will once again fill the air at Memorial Park as the 10th annual Ladner Bandfest takes place next weekend.
This year, 22 amateur adult concert bands from the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and the U.S. will present 40-minute concerts on two stages. Performances will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8. Ladner Bandfest is the largest gathering of adult musicians in Western Canada and it is free to the public. To celebrate the 10th anniversary, the Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy will be the featured band, performing Sunday between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. Legendary band leader Dal Richards is also scheduled to make an appearance on Sunday.
Burgers, snacks, drinks and their signature "curly fries" will be available from the TOOBs concession stand.
Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy an old-fashioned weekend of band music in the park. Ladner Bandfest goes ahead rain or shine.
