I'm so thankful that the rain was falling last night...I hope the trees are breathing a little easier and the salmon streams are recharged a bit. The Wilds will add their voices to Alouette Rivers Day that our salmon relatives will be able to get upstream and spawn. Come and sing for just the right amount of rain into Kanaka Creek, Maggie Creek and all the important salmon waterways big and small...and of course our great Stó:lō Fraser River. Come!
The Museum of Surrey will be holding a Filipino Festival this Saturday, offering visitors a vibrant celebration of the Philippines.
The event features live performances, delicious food, music, ocean-themed expressive arts by Filipino-Canadian artist Paulina Constancia, storytelling in Tagalog and English, and much more.
White Rock director-actor-playwright Alex Browne is back – with an atmospheric, full-length ‘radio noir’ play, Blue Prelude, at Peninsula Productions’ studio theatre in Centennial Park (14600 North Bluff Road).
The four performances are on Saturday, Sept. 30 and Sunday, Oct. 4, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. each day.
Written by Browne (The Dawn Patrol, White Rock Players; The Adventures of Max Bennett, Dreaming Elephant) and presented in vintage radio style, complete with commercials – and authentically dressed by co-producer and costumer Kat Siemens – it’s a fond tribute to the noir esthetic of the 1940s and 1950s and the bad old days when crime and corruption were rampant in the neon-lit streets of Vancouver.
'Man of 1000 Voices' Hunter Golden and glamourous, multi-talented Jacqueline Rose have fun rehearsing scenes from "Blue Prelude," our original 'Radio Noir' live drama - presented by Aristocratic Entertainment and set to make its debut Sept. 30 - Oct. 1 at Peninsula Productions' Studio Theatre, Centennial Park, White Rock.

In 2013, the Delta Firefighters Charitable Society hosted the inaugural Harvest Festival as a fundraising event to support and celebrate our City's rich history of success.
When Barnside Brewing Co. approached us to borrow the festival's name, we gladly agreed, given the festival's commitment to giving back to the community.
Therefore, the Delta Firefighters Charitable Society is proud to present our first online 50/50 draw, which will run until the final day of The Barnside Harvest Festival Concerts or until tickets are sold out.
Tickets are currently available for purchase.
