The Dance Deck is an outdoor summer series where acclaimed performers and creators have the chance to share their work at a grassroots level. Our home has always been a place of regeneration and creativity, and with this in mind we feel passionate about creating an alternative and unique environment from which to share the arts with our community.

In partnership with Vancouver music institution, The Rickshaw Theatre, Eastside Arts Festival presents a show by up-and-coming artists Young Friend, Babe Corner, and Kylie V on July 25 at 8pm. Drew Tarves, aka Young Friend, captures the nostalgia of post-adolescence through his genre-bending indie rock sound, while Babe Corner brings a nostalgic rock vibe with catchy riffs and melodic four-part harmony. They’ll be joined by lyrical indie-pop innovators worrywart and Kylie V.

On July 26, the festival brings back its popular, FREE all-day outdoor event, this year at MacLean Park, sponsored by Strathcona BIA. The event features live music presented in partnership with the Rickshaw, a Festival Shop with handmade artworks and goods from local Eastside artists, free art activities for all ages and abilities, food trucks (Midnight Joe’s and Planted Love), and a beer garden hosted by Strange Fellows Brewing.

The music lineup includes good timin’ outlaw tunes by Janky Bungag the rough-edged indie sounds of Twin River instrumental surf-rock from the ReViberators and folky Canadiana from singer/songwriter Madelyn Read.

Free afternoon live music returns to MacLean Park on July 27, presented by the long-running MacLean Park Music series and supported by Strathcona BIA and Eastside Arts Festival.
