Slight change of time I'll be at #VIVAS #OpenHouse today. I won't be there until 3pm - staying until 8pm. I need to pickup some extra supplies before going to meet Jada at studio. We're at the main VIVAS building on Blanshard St, on the main floor. Take a left, after entering building & Prickly Pear Studio is on the right, half way down hallway.

Downtown #VictoriaBC will be filled with music, colour and tradition on April 11 as the Victoria #BengaliCulturalSociety hosts its first outdoor celebration of #PohelaBoishakh - the #Bengali #NewYear. The #FreeEvent, set for #CentennialSquare at noon, marks a milestone for the local Bengali community, bringing one of its most recognized #cultural traditions into the public square. For the first time in Victoria, organizers will stage the #MongolShobhajatra -a “parade of well-being” recognized by #UNESCO. The procession will feature large, handcrafted masks and vibrant artistic structures, accompanied by drumming and music symbolizing #peace and #unity.

The parade is expected to begin around 1 p.m. The celebration will also include live Bengali music and dance performances, a food fair showcasing #SouthAsian cuisine, and vendor stalls offering traditional clothing and handmade goods. Organizers say the event is meant to highlight the #diversity of #cultures on #VancouverIsland while offering residents a chance to engage with Bengali traditions.

Two of my friends' bands are performing this evening at Government House Music on the Lawn. It's the last of the Summer #FreeConcert series. I'm going early & meeting a couple of friends there; Mom will probably come too.

Cookeilidh – High energy modern takes on Celtic, Irish, Scottish, Maritime and Folk music.
Some of my past photography for them is on their website. I did photography for their 2nd album liner too.
