As the B.C. Day long weekend fast approaches, the 7th annual ArtsWells Festival of All Things Art is getting ready to ride surging heat waves towards the historic communities of Barkerville and Wells, B.C.
One of the Top 10 Festivals in Canada, according to a recent nationwide survey by CBC Radio 3, ArtsWells is a four-day extravaganza packed with various forms of music, visual arts, performance, and entertainment.
"Anyone wearing their ArtsWells wristband can enjoy the sights and sounds of Barkerville for only five dollars their first day, and for only two dollars any day thereafter between July 30 and Aug. 2," said ArtsWells Festival Co-ordinator Patrick Kearns.
During four jam-packed days between July 30 and Aug. 2, over 150 different acts of music, spoken-word, theatre, juggling, dancing, and poetry will combine with visual art tours, a mini-mural project, and vendors' village throughout nine designated ArtsWells stages in Barkerville and nearby Wells.
