Khatsahlano Festival on West 4th 2011

The Khatsahlano! Festival hits West 4th this Saturday between Burrard and MacDonald streets. The street-wide festival will have concert performances from Yukon Blonde, The Evaporators, Aidan Knight and many more on five stages (two big ones at Vine and Cypress and three smaller stages at Maple, Arbutus and Yew).

Grant McDonagh of Zulu Records spoke with The Vancouver Sun about the event. “McDonagh said the idea of making the music component an integral part of Khatsahlano! came about following the demise of Hippie Days in 2009, when Zulu hosted small performances in a tent in front of its shop.”
