Under the Volcano Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Under The Volcano Festival Of Art & Social Change is an activist, grassroots gathering held at Whey-Ah-Wichen (Cates Park) on the traditional territory of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation in North Vancouver, BC every August. "Under the Volcano" is Canada's largest political arts festival and is 100% volunteer produced. The Festival takes its name from the well-known book of the same name by Malcolm Lowry, who squatted in Cates Park in the 1940s.
The festival has featured a number of high profile activists in its 16 years of existence, including: Ward Churchill, Faith Nolan, Kinnie Starr, Kathleen Yearwood, Aztlan Underground, and Lourdes Perez.
