It’s been thirty-five years since the inaugural Powell Street Festival, and in that time we’ve grown from a small community event to a full-blown arts & culture celebration attended by thousands each year. We are grateful to all the participants, volunteers, funders, attendees, and our DTES community for supporting our efforts these past thirty-five years, and we look forward to at least thirty-five more. In the meantime, we look forward to welcoming you to Oppenheimer Park for the 35th Annual Powell Street Festival! Read more…

Join us in celebration of Powell Street Festival’s 35th Anniversary!
Vancouver’s oldest community-based festival, Powell Street Festival is celebrating its anniversary on June 15 at Performance Works in Granville Island. In 1977, the first Powell Street Festival was held in Oppenheimer Park on Powell Street, in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, which was once the city’s Japantown. Since then, the Festival has continued annually through the perseverance and support of tons of volunteers and long-term community supporters. To stay strong and innovative for another 35 years, we are hosting “KANPAI!” (cheers!), a fundraiser featuring square dancing with Shout! White Dragon, MC-ing and songs by Jay Kin, a live and silent auction, cash bar and Japanese appetizers. No dancing experience required!
Art and other live and silent auction items can be previewed at Silent Auction Preview page or our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/powellstfest

祝 パウエル祭35周年!!!!!
バンクーバーで最も古いコミュニティ主体のお祭り、パウエル祭の35周年記念イベントが6月15日にグランビルアイランド内にあるPerformance Worksにて開催されます。
最初のパウエル祭は1977年に遡ります。第１回パウエル祭はダウンタウンイーストサイド、パウエル通りにあるオッペンハイマー公園にて開催されました。この地域は、かつてジャパンタウンと呼ばれていた地域です。1977年の第１回パウエル祭以来、パウエル祭は毎年恒例のイベントになり、たくさんのボランティアとコミュニティ団体のサポートによって本日に至るまで開催が続けられています。今後のさらなる発展、飛躍を目指して、パウエル祭協会ではカンパイ！ファンドレイザーを開催します。イベントでは、シャウト！ホワイトドラゴンの生演奏でスクエアダンス、ジェイ・キンによるMCと歌のパフォーマンス、ライブオークション・サイレントオークション、バーと日本食のフィンガーフードと盛りだくさんの予定です。スクエアダンスは経験不問！
サイレントオークションに出品されるアイテムは5月末に当祭ウェブサイトとフェイスブックページにて閲覧が可能です。
